Lauren Phillips-Jackson, LCSW
"It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support,
...and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re considering therapy, you likely know what it is to live with pain and to have come this far means that you are resilient and capable. It also means that you’ve been carrying a heavy burden on your own. We will create a safe space for you to process your experiences and work toward the life you want.
I specialize in working with emotional, physical, and institutional trauma. I work with teens and young adults forming their identities and defining who they want to be.
I use individualized modalities - namely, Psychodynamic, Narrative, DBT, CBT, and Liberation Health - We can work collaboratively with you and your support system to design a treatment plan that works best for you.
I encourage you to reach out so we can explore the most effective treatment for you. If none of these terms mean anything to you yet, just know that in therapy, your truth and well-being are always my top priority.
Grief & Spirituality
Lauren has a strong interest in how spirituality and spiritual questioning affects our lives and how it can be used to help in holistic therapy. She can support you on a journey to deepening your understanding of what spirituality means to you.
Gender & Sexuality
As young people begin to explore themselves, gender identity and sexuality can become a source of confusion or fear. Lauren offers supportive guidance to the LGBTQ community along a path of discovery your personal experience of identity.
She also understands that adults can face similar challenges, often entailing complex life situations, such as adults enduring a "closeted" life. Lauren can provide support and compassion along your journey of self determination at any age.
It is my commitment to you to create a space where you can be the whole of who you are and know that you will be believed, your pain will be held, and your worth will be celebrated. When you are ready, I will support you in stepping outside of your comfort zone to help you fulfill your goals. Whatever brings you here, I’m so glad that you’re considering taking this next step towards your healing.
Trauma Therapy
Lauren has had extensive training working with people who are living with trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD). She is passionate about supporting survivors to become empowered and to fully embrace life again.
Working through trauma can be a frightening process. Lauren understands the overwhelm that may come with exploring terrible events in your life. She is skilled at holding a safe space for your journey.
Young People
Lauren specializes in providing mental health therapy with young people including teens and college aged young adults. She understands the challenges of managing relationships, life transitions from high school to college, substance use bullying, loss of friend groups and more.
She looks forward to validating how hard this time is and helping you create a successful life.
Virtual Therapy
Currently, Lauren only offers therapy through an online platform. Online or Virtual therapy can still provide a deep and meaningful connection, allowing you to experience your therapist’s compassion and support while working toward the changes you seek. It also offers greater convenience, increased flexibility in scheduling, and improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities, making therapy more approachable and adaptable to your needs.
