Lauren Hartford M.S., LPC, ALMFT

Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

What is my approach to therapy and my clients?

Whether through individual, couples, or family counseling, I am dedicated to joining my clients on their unique path to wellness. My approach is rooted in meeting clients where they are, which means creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where we can work collaboratively towards achieving their goals.

I am committed to using strength-based counseling methods that focus on empowering clients to build on their existing strengths and resources. This approach is designed to foster greater independence, responsibility, and self-regulation, helping clients to navigate their challenges more effectively and develop a sense of personal efficacy.

My professional background includes extensive experience working with low-income and diverse families, as well as with adults and children with disabilities. I have a rich history of engaging in relational therapy, which involves addressing the dynamics between individuals within a family and how these relationships influence each person’s well-being.

In my practice, I strive to enhance coping skills and build resilience within individuals, couples, and families. By focusing on the specific needs of each family member and the family system as a whole, I aim to help clients function at a higher level of emotional and relational health. This holistic approach ensures that we address both individual challenges and systemic issues, leading to more sustainable and impactful outcomes.

My goal is not only to support clients in overcoming immediate difficulties but also to equip them with the tools and strategies needed for long-term success and fulfillment. By working together, we can build a path towards greater resilience, understanding, and personal growth.
