Hi there, my name is Lauren Scott and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, who provides care statewide via Telehealth. I work with teens and young adult populations specializing in anxiety and depression using Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, and Somatic therapeutic interventions.
My approach
I have a 'Meet the client where they are' approach utilizing motivational interviewing techniques to assist clients in identifying goals. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focus techniques, these modalities assist clients in effectively managing current distress while setting measurable, realistic goals to get them where they want to be in the here and now.
My focus
I have found that my style works best with teens and young adult populations who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and unhealthy coping behaviors that can lead to addiction.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, personable, and accommodating. I am often regarded for being direct while maintaining a safe therapeutic space to be vulnerable and share deep inner thoughts and feelings.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I've always wanted to help others become the best versions of themselves in various settings.
My goals for you
I take a compassionate, strength-based, and relational approach to healing, I am there to work collaboratively in setting goals that are specific, achievable, and relevant to your needs.
My first session with you
What you can expect during our first session is majority of the time you sharing how you have been feeling that led you to therapy and me asking questions to gain a better understanding of areas of support that are needed to get you where you want to be. Each individual is different and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
