Getting to know Lauren McNamara

I have a passion for helping my clients navigate life's challenges, find balance, and experience meaningful personal growth. My approach combines a warm, compassionate style with evidence-based practices, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I tailor therapy help you break through negative, self-limiting beliefs that keep you feeling "stuck", using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other strengths based, trauma informed, solution focused therapy modalities. I believe you are the expert on your own life and that with the right support, you can create the fulfilling life you want.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I support clients living with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship/family issues, life transitions, career issues and trauma. I am deeply committed to providing the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized communities with supportive, affirming care. I provide inclusive, positive, collaborative care that builds your resilience and self-trust. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, lacking confidence, wanting to understand yourself better, or looking to become empowered to make lasting changes in your life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for new clients prior to booking a full intake appointment, so I can learn a bit about you and what you're looking for in therapy.
