We’ve All Got Baggage; Let’s Unpack Together

Trauma

Trauma therapy, also known as trauma-focused therapy or trauma-informed therapy, is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events. Traumatic events can include physical or sexual abuse, accidents, natural disasters, witnessing violence, combat experiences, or any event that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope and leads to a profound sense of fear, helplessness, or horror.

Anxiety / Depression

Anxiety/depression therapy, also known as treatment for anxiety and depression or simply as psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, is a form of therapy specifically designed to address the symptoms and underlying causes of anxiety disorders and depression. These are two common mental health conditions that often coexist and share some similarities in terms of emotional experiences and cognitive patterns.

Personal Issues

Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. This emotional support can be particularly valuable during times of stress, grief, or difficult life transitions. Through guided discussions and reflections with a therapist, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns. Increased self-awareness can lead to personal growth and positive changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I just stressed or do I need Anxiety Counseling?

What if I don't have time for therapy?

Client Reviews

Immediately Lauren was able to see me for who I was and respect and support me for that. She has been my biggest cheerleader and sounding board ever since. I am so grateful for her role in my life.

My therapist, Lauren, really helped me break through my constant questions of why and guided me towards the self reflection and solutions I needed.

Since I began therapy with Lauren Williams, I cannot even begin to explain how much it has improved my quality of life.

She actually listens and hears her patients, something that is exceedingly rare nowadays…
