I work with teenagers and adults, focusing on their goals and strengths to help them make meaningful changes. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, self-esteem and body image issues, and general life, family, school, work, and relationship challenges.

I have always been reluctant to try therapy. About 6 months ago, I decided to give it a shot. I am so happy that I chose Lauren Malone as my therapist. She is empathetic and caring. Talking to her once a week has made me a better version of myself. She is a great listener, and she is extremely knowledgeable about methods to help her patients. Ms. Malone really gets me and understands what I am going through. I look forward to our Tuesday sessions. I have recommended Ms. Malone to my cousin and a few friends. Lauren Malone is an amazing therapist, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
