Lauren Milo, LCSW
Message from Lauren
When we struggle with setting boundaries, building authentic relationships, or adapting to life changes, we often feel out of balance and disconnected from our true selves. Much of my work with clients is focused on building self esteem in order to build a life you love. Are you living life according to the values that matter to you? When grappling with hard questions like these, I am here to accompany you on your path to healing. With a nurturing and understanding approach, I create a safe environment where you can explore your emotions and thoughts without fear of judgment. Every individual's story is unique. I believe in a personalized therapeutic approach where we explore the root cause of misalignment in your life, and address it together, collaboratively. Whether you're facing significant life changes, experiencing anxiety, or battling inner turmoil, I'm here to walk beside you. My aim is not just to help you cope but to thrive. Through evidence-based strategies, an attachment theory lens, and a deep comprehension of mental health, I empower you to cultivate resilience and embrace positive transformation. Together, we can unlock your full potential and create a life filled with purpose and joy.

What is the best part of the work for you?
The most rewarding aspect of my work is being present for you as you share your story and navigate the things you want to focus on. I truly value the opportunity to help you express both the small moments and the larger challenges you face. I want you to know that you have someone in your corner, ready to support you through both the joyful times and the difficult ones. You are not alone in this journey.
If I have never been to therapy before, what should I expect? How do I know if I should go, and how do I start?
If you’ve never experienced therapy before and are feeling the need to talk to someone who can provide a caring and unbiased perspective, you are not alone. It can be really difficult to navigate feelings of sadness, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or frustration on your own. I want to assure you that therapy is a safe space where you can explore these feelings without judgment. Everyone’s journey is different, and together we'll discover what works best for you. If you’re ready to take that step, I invite you to reach out for a 15-minute consultation and we'll see if it's the right fit. You deserve support, and I’m here to help.
From your perspective, what is therapy?
I believe therapy is a welcoming space you can look forward to each week, where you can focus on becoming the best version of yourself. It’s a safe haven for learning new skills and sharing both your joys and struggles. In therapy, you can truly be yourself without fear of judgment; it's a place where you can laugh, cry, reflect, and open up about your experiences. This journey not only helps you gain insight into your past and present but also empowers you to navigate your future with greater understanding and clarity.
