CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“I want to thank you so much for all the help that you gave us. We couldn't have reached this positive outcome without your assistance.”
"You're a master and a saint! :)"
"Thanks so much again for all you hard work on our behalf. I am feeling so much freer, lighter and joyful these days. This new chapter of my life is worth the bother to get here!"
"Dear Lauren, I’m sitting here in the loft of our home...surrounded by family, including my granddaughters and their mother and father. While their interactions are fairly limited, they are cordial to each other. And I know, whether consciously or subconsciously, are being blessed by the presence of both mom and dad, in the same space, and being cordial and friendly. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL WORK YOU HAVE DONE, AND CONTINUE TO DO!! We are all blessed, but especially those two little ones. I wish to express my sincerest gratitude for your professionalism, and your incredible talent."
"My relationship with [my spouse] is really much improved. We are communicating, listening, and expressing appreciation. I feel like we have both grown a great deal emotionally. Truthfully, I miss our sessions with you, having a sacred space to listen and be heard. Thank you for the foundation for healthy communication that you guided us through."
"Thank you SO much. I really appreciate it. You've been great to work with."

"Five just really isn't enough stars. Whenever I see Lauren, I know that I am in a safe place, with a safe human. She understood our situation, and gives sound advice. She listens to you and knows how to acknowledge everyone. I thought, before all of this, that reunification was going to be really hard and emotionally draining. Quite the opposite. My experience with Lauren has truly been healing for me and my children. Thank you."
“Top drawer service all the way. Her guidance through this process was invaluable and saved a lot of unnecessary headaches and heartbreak.”
“You are the best we have.”

- family law attorney

- couple therapy client

- formerly resisted parent in court ordered family therapy case

“I not infrequently reflect back on our time with you. If anyone asks, I say: “It was really really hard work, for both of us. We did it for a LONG time, weekly. But it was SO helpful and I am so grateful.”
“It is INCREDIBLE WORK that you have led and shaped in [this process], Lauren. Thank you for your dedication, expertise, and humanity throughout this process.

“It is odd to have a stranger out in the world provide life changing support and to trust that this person (you) has only good intentions for you. You genuinely led me to see myself as a separate entity, a separate being worth the efforts of getting to happiness and contentment, acceptance and ease.
