Getting to know Lauren MacPherson

Hi there, I'm Lauren! My name is Lauren MacPherson, LSCSW. I am trained in EMDR, brainspotting, CBT, and solution focused approaches. My primary areas of focus are trauma, anxiety, depression, and transitional life issues. My approach I take a primarily client centered and trauma informed approach. I draw on aspects of CBT, DBT, and solution focused. My focus I love working with people who have experienced trauma and are looking to improve their lives and learn how to heal. I also love giving people the tools to help manage their anxiety. My communication style I aim to create a supportive, nurturing environment for my clients. People who step into my space leave feeling better than when they came in. I allow people space to heal. Some clients have said working with me feels like a warm hug. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to being a therapist began when I was 17 and saw a very transformative therapist who I found to be helpful at the time. Since then I fell in love with the idea of helping people work through their struggles. I initially sought a degree in Psychology received my Bachelors in that. I then found out about social work and took a few classes through Washburn to see if social work felt like a fit for me. Later I applied and was accepted into the social work program at the Universiry of Kansas. Giving people hope where they had none is what drives me to do this work. My goals for you I typically let clients take the lead on what goals they want to set. If it doesn't come from them, it's hard to get the buy in. I will provide suggestions I'd client's don't know where to start. My first session with you During our first session I will get to know you and your background particularly life experiences growing up. I will also ask about current life stressors and what their support system looks like.
