Lauren Maples

Lauren Maples, a psychologist with a PhD, will be on sabbatical until spring 2023, during which she will be refining her clinical focus. With a wealth of experience working with tweens, teens, young adults, and their parents, she has historically addressed the complexities of growing up and the challenges of parenting. While she anticipates continuing this meaningful work, final details will emerge closer to her return. As a therapist, Lauren identifies primarily with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT), emphasizing the interplay of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships to guide her clients toward improved well-being. Furthermore, she has acquired training in Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), a relationship-oriented approach that effectively aids in conflict resolution, particularly for kids and their parents. During her sabbatical, Lauren is not taking on new clients and urges those seeking support for their children to connect with CAYAC (Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Connections) for referrals. For adult services, Mental Health Connections is recommended for assistance. Her dedication to the mental health community remains steadfast, and she appreciates your understanding during this time.
