Lauren Shaak

My communication style

I make sessions feel conversational, safe, supportive, and welcoming. I believe it's possible to take a relaxed, even lighthearted approach to the serious work of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spent time in service-based work that didn't feel meaningful. As a therapist, I offer support, feedback, and guidance in service of each client's needs. Therapy feels like the best way I can be an asset to people brave enough to pursue healing and growth.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process. I support clients in creating goals that are specific, short-term, and manageable because goals that feel too difficult or too distant can seem insurmountable or irrelevant.

Our first session

You'll learn about me, my style, and my view of therapy. You can expect to be heard and validated. You'll also leave with a sense of hope about your course of treatment.
