Getting to know Lauren Persad

Hello, my name is Lauren. I am dedicated to providing a safe space for clients to gain further insight into their minds, emotions, and actions. I believe all people can grow, learn, and make positive changes at any stage in life. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. My specializations include anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral issues, self-esteem, and crisis management. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My pre- and post-graduate experience includes working with individuals, families, psychoeducation, and neuropsychological testing administration. My clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has encouraged my philosophy of being flexible to each client based on their experiences and needs. My goal is to assist clients in establishing their independence and confidence to move forward in any life phase. I desire to continue practicing in progressive and innovative ways, making my clients' goals of the utmost importance. I am passionate about collaborating with clients; assisting and supporting them on their journeys.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
