I'm Lauren Johnson (she/her/hers), Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

​

I have over 10 years of experience providing assessment and therapy services including: therapy at a children's residential treatment center; alcohol/drug assessments; hospital case management; court mediation services; foster care therapy; DCFS; therapy at a children's advocacy center with victims of physical and sexual abuse; and private practice. 

 

My therapy approach is very personalized, collaborative, authentic, and warm. You won't find homework or a specific agenda with no room for conversation, or a cold and rigid presence from me. Although therapy can be hard and bring up many feelings, there will always be time to celebrate your wins and laugh about the everyday, humorous parts of our lives.

​

Therapy with me generally consists of putting a lot of attention on building a relationship - trust, safe, comfortable, connected. When you're ready, we'll unpack your history or past traumas, exploring how and why you're currently struggling, embrace difficult emotions, and empower you to make change outside of our sessions.
