Getting to know Lauren Hodges Shuman

Hi there, I'm Lauren! I’m originally from Waycross, Georgia, but my professional journey in mental health began in Savannah, GA. Outside of the therapy room, I’m a former college soccer and rugby player who now stays active by keeping up with my two adventurous children—they are my greatest joy and daily inspiration! My approach My approach to therapy is rooted in a person-centered philosophy—honoring each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and voice. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. With an open mind and a creative spirit, I tailor our work together to fit your individual needs, using flexible, integrative strategies. My focus Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling more connected to themselves, equipped with practical tools for emotional regulation, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. My communication style My goal is for every session to feel like a safe, collaborative space where growth is not only possible—but encouraged. My journey to mental healthcare Since 2015, I’ve served as a school counselor, following the completion of my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Georgia Southern University. My passion for supporting others through education and mental wellness led me to further my training, earning both a Specialist degree and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Capella University. My goals for you Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns with curiosity—not judgment—allowing space for clarity and healing. Whether processing difficult experiences or setting goals for the future, clients often gain a deeper sense of self-awareness, confidence in their inner wisdom, and renewed hope. My first session with you We will get the chance to get to know one another during our first session. We'll talk about your history and the reasons you're seeking treatment. We'll keep developing our work together because therapy is a process.
