Lauren McNamara
I have a passion for helping clients navigate life's challenges, find balance, and achieve meaningful personal growth. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a warm, compassionate style, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I tailor therapy help you break through negative, self-limiting beliefs and habits that keep you feeling "stuck", using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths based, solution focused therapy modalities. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and that with the right support you can create the fulfilling life you want. I support clients facing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship/family issues, life transitions, career issues, grief/loss and trauma. I provide specialized support to family members of individuals with substance use disorder. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and provide support to those in alternative relationship dynamics. I’m deeply committed to providing inclusive, affirming care that builds on your strengths. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, wanting to understand yourself better, or looking to become empowered to make specific lasting changes, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to working together with you as a team to achieve your goals.
