Getting to know Lauren Stephenson

With over 18 years of experience and a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland, I have the knowledge, experience, and training to help clients through challenging times. Most of my clients are individuals struggling to cope with unresolved grief, trauma, life transitions-including divorce-and significant losses, whether a job, friendship, or the death of a loved one. Many others are desperate to improve current relationships and understand why old patterns tend to repeat. Couples seeking help are often locked into emotionally painful dynamics that alienate and polarize, wanting connection but not knowing how to achieve it. These are complex dynamics that require exploring family of origin histories and uncovering limiting beliefs and assumptions formed long ago that adversely impact self-esteem and current relationships. As human beings, we all face challenges during our lives. The key to successfully navigating these is understanding, developing appropriate coping skills, examining how we might change our thinking and behaviors, and being kind to ourselves. Therapy is a collaboration-a relationship between myself and my client(s). Treatment choices are not made in a vacuum or based on a single theoretical model. A strategy that works well for some individuals may not work for others. Therefore, my treatment strategies are unique to each individual and combine best practices tailored to each client's needs.
