Getting to know Lauren Spraker

I believe that no matter how challenging your story has been, you can get through to the next chapter. As a natural optimist, my solution-focused approach will help you rediscover joy in your life and hope for your future. My approach I tend to be more solution-focused. While I hold past experiences with utmost value and sensitivity, I am more interested in the way forward. I ask a lot of questions to better understand the reasoning behind your thinking, and gently challenge any possible contradictions. If we get stuck, I'll often transition to EMDR (a backdoor approach, when the front door won't open). My focus I enjoy working with survivors of childhood trauma, people enduring difficult life transitions, and anyone who is faith curious and/or wanting to take a step into their spiritual journey. My communication style I see every person to be the main character in their own story. I believe every person has a unique purpose, is valuable, and worthy of love. I hope you've come to the "plot twist" of your story, where you tap back into who you were meant to be, and decide to take on the challenge of pursuing your heart's desire. I hope you leave inspired to truly live your life. My journey to mental healthcare When I turned 23 years old, I took a deep interest in discovering my purpose and the meaning of life. I pursued volunteer work and took to serving others overseas. From there, I transitioned to leading people on trips who were pursuing similar interests. It was through this experience that I learned my greatest joy was found in mentoring others in discovering who they are and who they want to be. My goals for you I ask my clients directly in the first appointment, "If therapy worked for you, how would your life be different?" Once we identify the desired changes, I aim to collaborate with my client in establishing action steps toward those specified goals. Every client is different. I intend to work in a way that best suits your end goal.
