About Lauren Ertz
Hi, I’m Lauren!
I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and work through things at your own pace. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy getting to know each client as a whole person. Because everyone’s needs and experiences are different, I tailor my approach to each individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I take a warm, collaborative, and creative approach to therapy. I incorporate evidence-based techniques, creative activities, and practical coping strategies based on each client’s needs and goals. My hope is that therapy feels approachable and engaging while still creating opportunities for meaningful growth.
I have experience working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I enjoy helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen confidence, and better understand themselves.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is important to me. I want my clients to know they can bring their authentic selves into the room without judgment. I recognize that progress looks different for everyone and may not always happen in a straight line, so I’m here to support you through both the challenges and the successes along the way.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a transition, struggling with anxiety or stress, or simply looking for support as you work toward personal growth, I’d be happy to walk alongside you.
