Available this week
Specializes in: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Abuse Survivors, Chronic Illness,

Introduction

I work with capable adults who've been carrying something for a long time and are starting to notice what that costs. My training is in evidence-based treatment—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—but I don't believe one protocol fits everyone. Instead, I listen carefully to your history and what you're hoping will be different, then do that work alongside you. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and life transitions across adulthood and into later years. I bring a strengths-based lens informed by positive psychology and cultural humility to create a collaborative, validating space. Whether you're working through a specific concern or building coping skills for ongoing challenges, I'm here to support your growth and resilience. I offer individual and group therapy via telehealth and am currently accepting new clients. https://beyondmountainspsych.com/ Lauren Thaxter, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Commonwealth of Virginia, license #0810009520.
