Meet Lauren
Lauren Barker (she/her), LCMHCA | Therapist
We’re a good fit if... you believe in the power of the collaborative relationship between client and therapist, and that having a more tailored approach to your concerns is key to achieving your goals.
My ideal client is... someone who is dealing with binge eating, bulimia, over-exercising, body image concerns, or relational and communication struggles.
I create safety and build rapport by...encouraging you to pursue openness and vulnerability while not dictating or rushing the process. My goal is to match your pace and create an environment where you feel seen and heard. I love seeing a client have a moment where something "clicks" for the first time, and having the privilege to able to hold space for hard topics when needed.
Three things I love: all of our animal friends, fall activities, and rainy days spent reading
