If you’re ready for real change—but don’t want to tiptoe around what’s actually going on—Lauren might be the right therapist for you. She works with teens, couples, and individual adults, and brings a steady, no-nonsense presence to the therapy room. Known for being direct, practical, and deeply supportive, Lauren is unphased by whatever clients bring into session. Whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating relational conflict, or trying to make sense of a major life transition, Lauren offers therapy that is focused, compassionate, and rooted in clarity. She meets clients exactly where they are—and helps them move forward with honesty and intention.
Lauren’s clinical style is grounded, clear-eyed, and refreshingly real. She doesn’t shy away from hard conversations, and she doesn’t expect clients to have it all figured out. Instead, she brings a thoughtful, insight-driven approach that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what’s keeping clients stuck. Her work is especially effective for people who want therapy to be both supportive and results-oriented—a space to be seen, challenged, and equipped with real tools for change. Whether she’s working with a teenager struggling to manage emotions, a couple caught in reactive cycles, or an adult overwhelmed by life decisions, Lauren shows up with equal parts steadiness and strength.
While Lauren’s clinical work is inclusive and client-centered, her personal faith gently informs how she shows up with others. She offers faith-integrated therapy for those who want to incorporate their Christian beliefs into the counseling process, and she also works comfortably with clients from all backgrounds, belief systems, and stages of spiritual exploration. Her approach is never about pressure—it’s about presence: showing up with warmth, wisdom, and respect for whatever matters most to the person sitting across from her.

Lauren Marks is a deeply grounded therapist who meets each client—whether teen, adult, or couple—with clarity, directness, and unwavering support. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing and growth are possible when you have the right tools and a therapist who isn’t afraid to walk with you through the hard stuff. No matter what you bring into the room, Lauren will meet it without flinching.
For couples, Lauren uses the research-backed Gottman Method to help partners move from gridlock to connection. Whether you’re navigating communication breakdowns, emotional distance, or conflict that seems to loop on repeat, Lauren brings practical strategies and a neutral, steady presence. She helps partners learn to listen differently, speak more honestly, and rebuild the trust that makes intimacy feel safe again.
Lauren understands that the heart of many couples’ struggles often lies in the unresolved emotional patterns each partner brings into the relationship. While she offers traditional joint couples sessions using evidence-based tools like the Gottman Method, she also recognizes that some of the most transformative work happens when partners explore their own stories and wounds in individual sessions. Lauren provides this flexible structure—working jointly or individually—so each person can grow in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and communication skills. Her approach helps couples move from blame to understanding, and from reactivity to connection.
Lauren also offers parent coaching that bridges the gap between therapeutic insight and real-life parenting. Drawing from the work of Daniel Siegel and The Whole-Brain Child, she helps caregivers understand what’s going on beneath the surface of their child’s behavior—so they can respond with both structure and empathy. Whether you’re raising a highly sensitive teen, navigating big emotional outbursts, or trying to support your child through family stress, Lauren equips parents with practical tools to stay connected and emotionally attuned, even when things get hard. Her coaching is grounded, respectful, and designed to support growth for both child and caregiver.
Lauren also works with individuals and parents navigating the emotional terrain of divorce and co-parenting. Whether you’re in the early stages of separation or years into a high-conflict dynamic, she helps you find clarity, emotional grounding, and a plan for moving forward with integrity. Her approach is practical and nonjudgmental—focused on reducing reactivity, improving communication, and helping you parent in a way that protects your child’s emotional well-being, even when the adult relationship is strained. For clients dealing with resentment, guilt, or grief around family transitions, Lauren offers a space to process, recalibrate, and begin writing the next chapter with confidence.
For individual clients, Lauren offers grounded, insight-driven therapy that helps untangle the internal chaos trauma can leave behind. She works with adults and teens facing PTSD, dissociative disorders, and the long-term impacts of emotional neglect, chronic stress, or relational harm. Using Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and parts work, Lauren helps clients move toward regulation, clarity, and self-trust. Her style is direct but compassionate—she’ll name what’s happening, offer practical tools, and walk with you as you reclaim parts of yourself that have felt fractured or forgotten. Therapy with Lauren isn’t about perfection—it’s about building a life that finally feels like yours.
Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time or returning after past attempts that didn’t quite land, Lauren brings a balanced mix of structure and compassion. She’s direct, insightful, and unafraid to go deep—but always at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.
