Lauren’s approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each person.

"I’m easygoing, nonjudgmental, and focused on meeting you exactly where you are, no pressure to be anything other than honest. Therapy with me feels collaborative and tailored to you; there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. I’ll bring warmth, curiosity, and yes, some well-timed humor (plus very real facial expressions), because sometimes that’s what makes hard things feel a little more manageable. You can expect a space where you’re supported and challenged when it matters."
What do you do for fun?
"I love to be outside...sitting, moving, playing with my partner and 2 kids, and just catching up with loved ones. Visiting coffee shops, trying to nap, *trying* to explore interests, reading, and eating yummy food."

You deserve care that sees the whole picture, not just the surface. We know that factors like race, gender identity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, & disability can shape reproductive experiences in powerful ways. Here you’ll find therapists who recognize those realities & are committed to creating a space where your story is honored without judgment.

At Holding New Therapy, we know reproductive journeys aren’t always what you imagined. Alongside the joy, there can be loss, exhaustion, anxiety, or a sense that everything about your world has shifted overnight.
