Lauren Whitehurst

Hi there, I'm Lauren!

I work with individuals and couples navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, caregiver struggles, and self-worth challenges. My background includes crisis work, trauma therapy, and supporting first responders who face unique mental health barriers.

My focus

I work with adults and couples facing substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, end-of-life difficulties, caregiver stress, and self-worth issues. I have extensive experience with correctional officers, veterans, firefighters, EMS, and law enforcement.

My approach

I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and relational work. My trauma-informed lens and training in Internal Family Systems help clients process difficult experiences and build lasting change.
