Lauren Golden

My communication style

I am endlessly validating and strive to provide empathy and support during life's hardest events. I hold space for you to participate in effective treatment designed to improve your overall quality of life. Sessions are supportive and comforting.

My journey to mental healthcare

During my upbringing, my father belonged to a private group practice where I worked in the filing room beginning from my adolescence, and my mother was an RN and the Director of Behavioral Health Services for the state. I believe that everyone has a past and everyone makes mistakes, and I believe that we can all, always, be better.

My goals for you

I believe you have an innate knowing of your needs, though not everyone is given the resources to express them. I collaborate with you to identify your values that will guide the development of your goals towards a life worth living.

Our first session

The first session will be light-hearted. Primarily, the first session serves the purpose of collecting the biosocial information (i.e., who, what, where, when), both currently and historically. The first session is the foundation of the treatment plan, which will be developed collaboratively.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish
