Getting to know LaurenTara Weinman

Hi there, I'm LaurenTara! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Counseling from Palo Alto University. My approach to therapy is helping clients find the resources within themselves to empower a better future. I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, and the LGBTQ+ community. My approach When I provide therapy, I like to use a two-pronged approach. The first is to find the root of the problem. I do this by using a Psychodynamic approach while also treating the symptoms with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This way, clients learn to have control over their behaviors and feelings while still having a space to process the root of the problem. I also use mindfulness and visualization techniques to help create a safe place for clients with extreme anxiety. My focus I enjoy working with teens and young adults so they have a space to process things as they start their journey to adulthood. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ population to give them a safe space to be their authentic selves. I am most comfortable treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflict, and coming out issues. My communication style I create a safe space for my clients to open up and have a policy of “no shame, no blame, no judgment.” I want to hear everything my clients have to say and then work with them in a manner they are comfortable with. I will gently challenge clients and provide homework during the week to reinforce what was done in sessions. My journey to mental healthcare Becoming a therapist came naturally to me. I remember being a child and having a very strong relationship with my grandmother, who always listened to me and my problems and stories. It was there that I developed an appreciation for the value of that. As I got older, I became that person for my friends. After traveling extensively, I became interested in the different ways people view life and morals.
