My name is Lauren Stevens and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and Reiki Master in Akron, Ohio. I am 100% telehealth based. My lens is an integrative blend of holistic practice and a trauma informed systems theory framework which guides my approach to healing. I am passionate about working with women, typically ranging in ages and stages of life, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma and feel as though they’ve lost touch with themselves. You are not alone, and I know that you never pictured being here. Let us find your footing and regain some confidence for the journey ahead. You are a warrior, I know you can do this.

We are all given gifts and struggles within this chaotic and beautiful life. I’d be honored to help you reconnect with your genuine self and release your mental and emotional burdens. Many who have trained and worked with me, whether as a client, or peer, have described my approach as warm, authentic, and eclectic.

My favorite client reflection has been “you feel like a human to me and help me connect with my genuine self in a safe and empowered way.” I utilize a mixture of insight based and trauma informed methods including EMDR and IFS as well as humanistic and person-centered methods with a tinch of humor to aid you in achieving your goals. Authenticity and transparency are key elements in therapeutic interactions and relationship building.

I believe in compassionate support, empowered self-discovery, and a gentle yet assertive nudge when needed. We are both, our own worst enemy and our most powerful gladiator. This is not a journey that you have to walk alone. This is a space where we will laugh and cry. I am here for it all, sweet soul. Let us travel this path together.
