Lauren Lay

Lauren Lay is a Limited Licensed Psychologist dedicated to helping adults and elders navigate the complexities of life and relationships. Understanding that feelings can often be difficult to articulate, she believes that struggle should not be equated with weakness or inadequacy. Everyone experiences challenging moments, and sometimes a little extra support is all that's needed to move forward. As the managing associate and attending provider at Hutchison & Associates in Fenton, Michigan, Lauren creates a safe, judgment-free space for clients to explore their feelings of sadness, fear, joy, resentment, and anger. Her expertise in various therapeutic modalities—including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method—enables her to guide individuals toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. With a warm and empathic approach, Lauren is committed to fostering self-awareness and acceptance, particularly for those who may feel hesitant about engaging in therapy. Her genuine concern for her clients' well-being ensures a positive environment conducive to personal development and meaningful change.
