Getting to know Lauren 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.

Ren is the best! She brings a warming presence that I felt right away. I immediately felt comfortable vocalizing my thoughts and feelings and that they would be received with care and understanding. She is easy to talk to and my partner and I have loved seeing her together.
