Lauren Dobbins
LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor
I offer a creative and collaborative therapeutic alliance to co-create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your understanding of yourself and the world around you. Life can often feel like it is happening at us, leaving us feeling powerless, anxious, depressed, and stuck. I believe we all have the power to tell our own stories and create our own paths. I believe wholeheartedly that it is my privilege to support you to reach an improved quality of life and a deeper level of self-awareness, acceptance and efficacy.
I am a clinically trained art therapist and licensed counselor and certified clinical trauma professional. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic method inviting a multidimensional and client-centered approach to therapy. I have experience working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, addictions, interpersonal conflict, attachment, identity and sexuality, body image and disordered eating. My work is trauma informed, LGBTQIA affirming, and intersectional.
I utilize multiple therapeutic methods to fine tune to the needs of my client and prioritize a holistic approach. Therapeutic approaches I utilize often are Internal Family Systems, Self Compassion, Somatic, Mindfulness, Systems, EFT, Creative Expression and CBT/DBT skills.
I encourage you to reach out should you feel we could make a good team and I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your journey to yourself; the multifaceted, dynamic and intricate weaving of your humanness; for I believe that when we know, we grow.
I am Level 1 Gottman trained.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & United/Optum Insurances.
