Getting to know Lauren Hospedales

I'm Lauren, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Trauma specialist dedicated to helping clients address life's challenges with confidence and in alignment with their values. Life is hard, especially in times of uncertainty and when we don't have all the answers. I've found that the most helpful tools for coping come from the answers we find within ourselves, the choices we make, and the trust we build in our own strength. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Albany, which has equipped me to support others on their journeys. It is always a great privilege to join someone along a similar path of self-discovery.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative and Existential therapies, where we attempt to answer some of the big questions that cause anxiety and depression - “Who am I?, What is my purpose in life? How do I move forward?”. I often work with clients who experience rumination, hypervigilance, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, and fear, interpersonal conflict, family/relationship concerns, pregnancy and postpartum depression, sexual dysfunction, and work stressors.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

At the beginning of therapy, we will work to build a foundation of trust by getting to know one another, and develop some initial short-term goals by establishing basic coping skills. From there, we continue to build insight, explore unresolved issues from the past, acknowledge emotions, and learn how to face past and present challenges using self-rescue and emotion regulation skills. You will become more confident in your problem solving, discernment, accountability, and sense of self!
