Introduction

My name is Lauren but most people call me Ren! I am a queer therapist with personal and professional experience providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and support for people at various points in their own exploration, expression and transition. I am skilled in working with a variety of types and expressions of trauma including PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use and disordered eating with a HAES aligned perspective. I also work with a variety of relationship types including monogamous, polyamorous, non-monogamous, aromantic and/or asexual partnerships. As an artist and musician, I especially enjoy working with other creatives, or people hoping to unlock the mental flexibility that is often embodied through creativity. I am a strengths-based, solution-focused therapist who maintains an anti-oppressive worldview & therapeutic lens that confronts systemic challenges and employs a variety of somatic approaches including IFS, mindfulness and EMDR to improve mind/body connection, emotional expression and self-agency. I would love to work together to explore new means of healthy coping, boundary setting and resource building to transform your life and uncover new opportunities and strengths through personal growth and resilience. I deeply value and respect the complexities of each person's lived experiences and encourage open conversations about race, class, gender, sexuality & identity without judgement.
