Getting to know Layne Hardy

Lauren Hardy, LPC, helps patients in Wisconsin navigate emotional challenges with steady guidance, practical tools, and a compassionate therapeutic style. She works with adolescents, teens, and adults, offering support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, while creating a space where individuals feel understood and empowered. As part of LifeStance Health, she provides individualized care rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to the unique needs of patients across Wisconsin. Lauren is especially dedicated to supporting individuals facing eating disorders and the complex relational dynamics that often accompany them. She brings a grounded, nonjudgmental approach to healing, helping patients build a healthier relationship with food, their bodies, and the people around them. She also has extensive experience assisting those adjusting after a recent discharge from a psychiatric hospital, guiding them through stabilization, coping-skill development, and the transition back into daily life. Her therapeutic work commonly focuses on areas including obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, and women’s issues, along with additional conditions she is skilled in treating. Lauren’s approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-based strategies, along with other interventions she offers as appropriate. She also welcomes individuals from diverse communities and has experience supporting LGBTQ+ patients, individuals on the autism spectrum, and others seeking affirming and collaborative care. Outside of the therapy room, Lauren enjoys reading, hiking through Wisconsin’s state parks, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
