Welcome, lets take the this step together.

Trauma-informed, compassionate, and kind therapy for the anxious, people pleasers, perfectionists and hurt individuals.

About Lauren Shimer, LPC

Who might be a good fit with me:

I enjoy working with people navigating religious trauma, anxiety, OCD, trauma, codependency/people pleasing, self-esteem/body image issues, relationship stressors & perfectionism. I believe we are relational people designed to connect with each other, though in the process we can experience a lot of pain. It's important for me to create a space for people to process safely and be known.

What to expect from my style:

My therapy style is trauma-informed, focused, and kind. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, Brainspotting, and “Religious Trauma, Spiritual Abuse, and Cult Recovery” and EFT Couples Therapy. I take a directive approach using IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic, Existentialism, and EFT modalities. Clients can anticipate me being warm, relaxed, funny and direct. I tend to focus on the body's reaction to suffering and spend time challenging clients to connect with how their past is impacting the present.

What I hope for clients:

Having a space to reflect, process, and gain insight can be so transformative and healing. Whether you’re hoping to process trauma, existential anxieties, relationship pain or daily life stressors, I hope to make space for you. My goal is that you leave feeling understood and challenged to reflect deeply to make change.
