After one session with Lauren and a week of implementing some of the techniques we talked about, I felt a noticeable difference in my behavior and moods.

When I first came across Lauren’s program, I was in a place where years of layered anxiety and issues had been piling up on me with no coping mechanisms to deal with it. I had tried therapy before, but had never found a match that fit me personally and I walked away feeling like the surface of my issues had been scraped but I had no clue where to go from there and how to deal with them. I had gone through periods of depression and lived for as long as I could remember with looming anxiety and felt like that was just the reality of my brain and my life. After one session with Lauren and a week of implementing some of the techniques we talked about, I felt a noticeable difference in my behavior and moods. Negative thoughts that in the past would have ruined my day now only briefly stayed in my consciousness; I was able to recognize them, address where they were coming from, and move on with my day. My loved ones saw a difference in my behavior too, citing how independent and at peace I seemed after my first couple weeks with Lauren. My sessions helped me understand that there is no end-goal with self-help, rather the journey itself is the reward by taking small steps all the time to support your mental and physical health that lead to huge overall changes. Opening up to Lauren felt so easy and natural and her ability to relate and be vulnerable back to me made a huge impact on my sessions and my life.
