Lauren Hughes
LMSW
I am a client-centered therapist with a specialized background in behavioral neuroscience. I work with children and adults, and I am currently welcoming new clients. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to individual needs; integrating elements of CBT, SFT, psychodynamic, and narrative therapies to support healing and growth that align with your goals.
– CHILDREN: I utilize art, play, modeling, and relationship-building to create a supportive environment where children can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this space, children learn to navigate their internal experiences and build skills for emotional regulation, communication, and self-advocacy.
– ADULTS: I aim to create an open and supportive space where individuals may navigate through discomfort, change, or unknowns. Using a strengths-based approach, I meet clients where they are and support them in feeling closer to themselves and the lives they want to live.
– NEURODIVERGENCE: I enjoy supporting neurodivergent clients (of all ages) and their families. My background as an executive functioning coach in academic, social, and independent living domains has deepened my understanding of individual differences and unique needs. I strive to create an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel seen and supported in a way that is meaningful to them.
Whether you’re navigating a period of change, hoping to build new skills, exploring your thoughts and feelings, or working through life experiences impacting you now, I am here to help. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.
