Lauren Shanafelt
Introduction
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsettled by anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life changes. They may seem like they have it all together, but inside they often struggle with overthinking, strong emotions, or uncertainty about what’s next. Therapy is a space to understand these patterns, learn practical coping skills, and feel more grounded and confident as they move forward. I tailor treatment to each client's needs, integrating evidence-based approaches such as EMDR when appropriate to help process past experiences that continue to impact the present. I support clients in recognizing patterns of thinking and behavior that hold them back. Using CBT, DBT, and EMDR, we build practical skills to manage emotions, reduce stress, and process experiences that continue to impact the present, helping clients create meaningful, lasting change. Reaching out for support can feel challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Whatever challenges you’re facing, we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
