Lauren Mankus

Hi there, I'm Lauren!

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially during acute stress. I bring a strengths-based, humanistic approach and tailor strategies based on your needs and circumstances. Nobody knows you better than yourself, so I prioritize collaboration. Together, we can get you where you want to be.

My focus

I work with clients across the spectrum of age, intellectual capability, and personal identity. Whether you need help managing emotions, processing trauma, coping with life stressors, or improving executive function, I will work with you to ensure you reach your goals in a manageable way.

My approach

Each session begins with a check-in to fit your current bandwidth and boundaries. I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Interpersonal Therapy techniques. Combining these approaches increases confidence in managing emotions and behaviors.
