3 Quick Questions for Lauren 

1. What’s your approach to counseling?
I start by building trust with your teen. Then we work together to identify stress points in their lives and thinking patterns. Next, we work together to develop ways to cope. I believe it’s important to bring parents into the process as well.

2. Why do you enjoy working with teens?
First of all, teens are hilarious, and I love laughing with them. Second, they have so much potential. I love seeing them overcome struggles and rediscover their sense of hope.

3. Why do teens enjoy working with you?
We make real progress. In addition to this, they feel supported as they make the hard choices needed for shaping a better future.
