Lauren Clinton

Starting therapy can be challenging, especially for the first time. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and trusting space for clients to explore and process thoughts and feelings, develop key insights, and challenge themselves safely. I enjoy working with adults dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief, and interpersonal concerns. I also specialize working with complex trauma and related symptoms, as well as with healthcare providers and related stressors, such as burnout and patient loss/grief. I also have experience working with college/graduate students and enjoy working with life transition/academic stress. I draw from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and behavioral theories in therapy. Additionally, I approach therapy from a trauma-informed lens, with emphasis on sex/body positivity and a feminist/multicultural framework. I believe that forming a genuine relationship is a key ingredient in therapy, and utilize authenticity, collaboration, and humor. Seeking help can feel very vulnerable; congrats on taking your first step! I am excited to walk with you through your journey towards insight and change.
