Testimonials

Lauren is an expert in perinatal mental health, she focuses on supporting people through the experience of becoming a parent. She is kind, considerate, empathetic, and skilled in her work with clients. I always feel confident referring to Lauren.

- Courtney Handja

Registered Clinical Counsellor

Lauren is an all-around amazing human and counsellor. She cares deeply about her work in perinatal mental health and is a great support to the clients and mothers that she works with.

Kris Scott

Registered Clinical Counsellor

I have worked with Lauren in a few different contexts, and she always wows me with her genuinely, warmth and ability to engage with her clients in a meaningful way. She is my go-to referral for women’s mental health.

Marlo McMurchy

Registered Social Worker

Working with Lauren has been a truly affirming experience during a particularly vulnerable chapter of my life — early parenthood. Navigating the postpartum period felt overwhelming and, at times, isolating. Speaking with someone who not only understands these challenges professionally, but has also lived through the highs and lows of raising young children during a pandemic, has been most healing.

Client

Lauren has a way of making you feel truly seen and heard, without judgment, and without resorting to platitudes. She brings a grounded, honest empathy to every session, along with a welcome dose of levity and perspective. Her humour and relatability don’t just lighten the conversation, they remind me I’m not alone.

Here For You

 

I’m Lauren (she/her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a mom to two boys. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelors in Child & Youth Care.

Before I became a mom, I worked as a youth outreach worker supporting at risk youth. I then went on to work with high school aged youth in the North Vancouver School District, where I spent time as a youth engagement worker supporting students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships and navigating their journey into adulthood.

I support clients in-person in North Vancouver, BC and virtually throughout British Columbia, and I am grateful to live, work and play on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

Counselling

 

I am a caring and approachable counsellor who is passionate about supporting clients throughout their mental health journey. As a mom to two young boys, I have had my own experience with anxieties, intrusive thoughts, and feelings of being overwhelmed throughout my journey through Matrescence. I know firsthand how challenging it can be as a mom; with constant expectations, feelings of guilt and being pulled in multiple directions.

I strive to create a space of acceptance and empowerment. My hope is to validate my clients, celebrate their victories and provide concrete strategies to help during life’s difficult moments.

I also have extensive work in the high school system as a youth worker and behaviour support worker. I enjoy connecting with and supporting youth through their journey into adulthood.

I support clients through a person-centered, holistic, mindfulness-based and trauma-informed lens.
