Getting to know Lauren Aiken

Lauren Aiken LMFT 127252: For the past 15 years, I have been supporting expectant parents in the transition to parenthood. Through issues with fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care, I have worked closely with women facing life changes. More recently, I have been focusing my therapeutic specialties on broader women's health issues while working in the OBGYN department of a hospital. There, I have led groups for new parents and for women in perimenopause and menopause transitions. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with women and families to address anxiety, depression, life transitions, traumas, parent coaching, and relational issues throughout one's lifetime. My approach Everyone has the innate tools to heal, repair, and thrive. In times of stress and chaos, therapy can restore and sustain us, balance our mental ecology, discover our pockets of joy, find closure, and shape our path. Together, we can develop a process that honors you and your community. Your relationship with yourself and others is an unfolding process of discovery. As a therapist, I am committed to finding a path forward that works for you. I focus on grounding, compassion, connection, and humor as central parts of therapy. My practice uses an ecological approach to counseling-an approach that looks at how mental health and well-being are impacted by our social, community, and natural landscapes. What healing can we derive from our environment? How is anxiety and depression in dialogue with greater societal structures? I specifically utilize behavioral techniques, psychodynamic, mindfulness, somatic, and attachment-based therapies. My focus I enjoy working with expectant parents in the transition to parenthood through issues with fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care, including parent coaching around child development, sleep, and behavior.
