Lauren Kirk Murry

My communication style

I create a calm, grounded, loving, and supportive environment through compassion, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard. I listen and guide with a non-judgmental approach that recognizes your unique and valid inner direction, which we discover and strengthen together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always believed in the power of collaborative healing and community care, and I come from a family of healers and educators. My background as a preschool teacher, birth doula, yoga instructor, substance abuse counselor, and mother of three continues to deeply inform and guide my work as a mental health therapist.

My goals for you

We will create the goals of therapy in collaboration. I believe therapy is a space to empower yourself to make new choices and practice new behaviors and thought processes as you gain new perspectives. We continue to check in on the topics we are working on as you become more in tune with your authentic self and your path forward.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss your concerns and how you've been feeling, as well as any strategies you’re using to support yourself. I’ll offer alternative approaches and focus on building a safe, comfortable connection. I treat each client as unique, creating a collaborative plan tailored to your needs.
