Lauren Hufnagel is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist (LCSW) who believes that after the first session, clients will leave with answers and clarity. She understands that children, adolescents, and families flourish when they feel heard, affirmed, and supported. Recognizing that hardship is a part of life, Lauren is committed to guiding individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. With a primary focus on anxiety in childhood, sexual trauma, childhood behavior problems, parent-coaching, and supporting mothers, Lauren collaborates with young people and their families to alleviate the pains of adversity and assist them in reconstructing their lives as they envision them. Her clients benefit from a clear treatment framework established immediately, complete with targeted goals. Clients can expect fresh ideas, tips, and new tools from the outset, ensuring they feel supported, heard, and guided throughout their therapeutic journey. When working with children and adolescents, Lauren employs both conversation and a variety of engaging therapeutic materials—such as play-therapy toys, art supplies, and games—that help bring their inner worlds, experiences, and concerns to light. Her warm, nurturing approach stems from the belief that meaningful change occurs when individuals feel good about themselves.
