“Working with Ren has been great! I have been seeing her regularly for months now and definitely recommend her. I feel like I get something out of every session. She is consistently on time and communicates well in advance if a standing appointment needs to be rescheduled. And she is quick to respond to emails.”

“Ren cares deeply about the therapeutic work she does with clients. She brings a kind of nonjudgmental curiosity that is immediately felt when you share space with her. Ren doesn’t simply sit back and listen—she rolls up her sleeves and engages thoughtfully in the work. Drawing from narrative therapy, IFS, and relational approaches, she helps clients better understand the stories and patterns that shape them while reconnecting with a deeper sense of who they are.”

Getting to know Lauren (Ren) Sahlman
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression or difficulty in your relationships? Do you feel like you have tools, but want to hone them to be more present in your life? Looking inward helps you reconnect with forgotten parts of yourself–supporting you in feeling less stuck and more grounded.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our work together, I invite you to discover your authenticity through speaking your truth aloud. Drawing from Psychodynamic and Somatic foundations, I will help you discover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you explore your thoughts, feelings and actions, that will give you deeper insights into your inner world.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your unique perspective and individual identity will be honored in the therapy with me. I believe you have incredible self-knowledge—you may just need some help uncovering what has always been there. I will help you to build trust within yourself and I will be an understanding presence in your life’s journey.
