Lauren SternLicensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, NCC

About

I support individuals and couples through the often messy and tender parts of life—perfectionism, people pleasing, identity shifts, relationship struggles, and the transition into parenthood. If you're feeling disconnected in your relationship, overwhelmed by motherhood, or unsure of who you're becoming, I offer a space for clarity, healing, and connection. I also work with people navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life stress. I help partners work through communication issues, disconnection, co-parenting challenges, intimacy struggles, and major life transitions like marriage or divorce. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in both depth and practicality, drawing on evidence-based practices to support meaningful and lasting change. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), as well as attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.
