What Client Says?

(02 Reviews)

Working with Lauren has been life changing for me. I came to Lauren with no experience with therapy and at the urging of my friend who was seeing me struggle. I didn’t even have names for, or language around the types of things I’d been dealing with for the majority of my life. There was deep work to do, definitely, but Lauren eased me in and created a non-intimidating space for me work through issues at my own pace. It’s a relief to have a clear mind and new understanding into the underlying reasons for anxiety, PTSD, depression, panic attacks and family dynamics to help heal at the foundation. I also have new tools to deal with tough times when they come up. Thank you so much, Lauren. I feel in many ways like I am only now, in my 40s, beginning to live a full life .

When I first came to see Lauren, I was unable to maintain close relationships, had little to no vocabulary to express what I was feeling, and little self worth and real knowledge of who I was at my core. After nearly twenty years of working closely with Lauren in both individual and group therapy, I can say I have all of those things and an all-around abundant life. Lauren is deeply committed to her clients. She is patient, kind, persistent and direct, and knows when to intervene and when to let you figure things out for yourself. I have referred her to friends and family over the years and have seen both through first and second hand, the impact she has on peoples lives. If you know something isn't quite right on any number of topics from relationships, addiction, to general depression, and are open to doing the work, I'd highly recommend giving Lauren a call.

Lauren Martin is, without a doubt, the best thing to hit the mental health profession since the beginning of time. She was referred to me by a friend who said "she will change your life in two years" and he was absolutely correct. EVERYTHING is better since I started seeing Lauren. I have often joked that I slid out of my mother's womb and into a therapist's chair, so needless to say, I have had lots of experience with countless therapists who will listen to you talk but don't actually deliver on any growth or development.

Lauren is the first and only therapist that I've had who actually works! Whether you have addiction issues, personality disorders, anxiety, depression or PTSD (or all of the above), she will help you stop being a self-destructive mess and get your life back on track. She is extremely well versed in addressing the entire spectrum of mental health issues - from serious childhood trauma to low grade depression. She is incredibly supportive, and really understands the inner workings of the human mind.

Throughout my life I’ve always had problems developing healthy personal relationships and continually chose the wrong partner. I had no idea why and attributed it all to bad luck. I was introduced to Lauren by a close friend after the end of a failed romantic relationship. Initially I was resistant to the therapeutic process but Lauren helped me to identify and understand the root causes of all my relationship failures (family issues included).

The work is ongoing and often difficult and I greatly appreciate everything she has done in helping me to see things clearly and putting my life and relationships on a better path.

I came to know Lauren because my wife and I needed help with our marriage. I had had very little therapy in my lifetime and didn’t know what to expect. Lauren was kind and understanding. She shepherded us through the most difficult time in my life and our relationship. If it hadn’t been for Lauren we wouldn’t have made it to our one year anniversary. For someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, and a general lack of self worth, Lauren gave me the language to describe and understand what I was going through.

Now, because of the success we’ve had in couples I work with Lauren in one-on-one therapy as well. I continue to learn and grow, in-spite of myself sometimes, because Lauren is both kind and, unlike any other therapist I’ve worked with, is willing to call me out when I’m unwilling to push myself. Thanks to Lauren I have an amazing family that my wife and I are building together and I am learning new techniques for navigating my life on my terms

Congratulations! If you are on this webpage, then you are most likely looking to live your life in a more examined way, a deeper way, a braver way. I would even congratulate you a second time for considering Lauren Martin as your therapist! She is that rare soul who brings compassion, integrity, intuition and experience to every session.

I’ve never met a better listener or teacher, and there is no person I trust more with my thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams than Lauren Martin. William Ben Brooks

I have been working with Lauren for over two years now. Despite being in therapy since 2010, she is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s had me work on healing from things I’ve never really gotten to the root of in therapy before. She has transformed the relationship I have with myself. Perhaps even more importantly, Lauren always makes me feel like I have support. She isn’t just there for me on the days we have a session. She is a consistent source of support.

Finally, since adding couples with her, my marriage has transformed as well. I highly recommend Lauren as a therapist and do not ever plan on working with anyone else.

As someone who initially began therapy reluctantly, I now can’t imagine my life without it. Lauren’s expertise in analytical training combined with her kindness has guided me to identify deeply buried childhood trauma and confront how this informs my behaviors, both professionally and personally.

And while self-awareness is an ongoing process, the moments of peace and clarity I achieve with Lauren’s help motivates me to continue becoming a better version of myself.
