Lauren Dobbins
LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor
I offer a creative and collaborative therapeutic alliance to co-create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your understanding of yourself and the world around you. Life can often feel like it is happening at us, leaving us feeling powerless, anxious, depressed, and stuck. I believe we all have the power to tell our own stories and create our own paths. I believe whole heartedly that is my privilege to support you to reach an improved quality of life and a deeper level of self-awareness, acceptance and efficacy.
I am a clinically trained art therapist and counselor and certified clinical trauma professional. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic method inviting a multidimensional and client-centered approach to therapy. I have experience working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, addictions, interpersonal conflict, identity and sexuality. My work is trauma informed, LGBTQIA affirming, and intersectional. I have experience working with anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia and unspecified eating disorders. My approach is to utilize CBT for thought distortions and core beliefs and introduce new habits, along with encouragement for intuitive eating and mindfulness. Also looking into possibility of trauma dx, triggers, onset, narrative and how disordered eating interacts with depression/anxiety/identity.
I encourage you to reach out should you feel we could make a good team and I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your journey to yourself; the multifaceted, dynamic and intricate weaving of your humanness; for I believe that when we know, we grow.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & United/Optum Insurances.
