About Lauren Parker
Lauren Parker, M.Ed.
Under directed experience and clinical supervision.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected? Or do you have a child struggling with these feelings? Is managing anxiety, regulating emotions, making friends, or staying focused a challenge? Are you looking for support to help yourself or your child navigate symptoms related to autism, ADHD, or social-emotional skills?
I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist passionate about supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with adults, teens, children, and families struggling with various diagnoses and stressors such as anxiety, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), self-esteem, and social skills by helping them build confidence, resilience, and the social-emotional skills needed to thrive.
I utilize a collaborative and strengths-based approach, blending evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with expressive therapy to meet each client where they are. I also utilize art therapy and creativity in my work with kids and adolescents. I also incorporate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to assist with behavioral issues as appropriate. Whether it’s improving emotional regulation, enhancing communication, or fostering positive peer relationships, my goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where all of my clients feel heard and supported.
When working with minors, I work closely with families, offering tools and strategies to nurture connection and growth at home. Together, we can create a supportive environment that empowers your child to flourish in all areas of life.
Thank you for taking the step to seek out therapy. If you’re looking for a partner in your journey toward emotional wellness and personal growth, I’m here to help. I look forward to connecting with you! I would love to hear from you if you think we could be a good fit. Please reach out for a free consultation.
