Dr. Lauren Rogers-Sirin, a dedicated psychologist with a PhD and MA, creates a nurturing environment where clients have the freedom to learn and grow. Her approach to therapy is conversational, allowing clients to guide discussions while she shares her insights with honesty and a supportive spirit. Dr. Rogers-Sirin believes that meaningful personal growth and change happen when individuals feel safe enough to alter their relationships with themselves and others. She emphasizes the importance of authentic self-awareness, which empowers her clients to make life-affirming choices. As a practitioner of relational-cultural psychology, she recognizes that relationships are central to mental health, influenced by cultural contexts that shape how individuals form, value, and experience connections. Understanding a person's personal narrative in light of the systemic factors of discrimination and injustice is crucial in her practice. Considering that starting therapy can often feel daunting, Dr. Rogers-Sirin encourages prospective clients to ask questions and view the first session as a collaborative decision-making meeting to determine if her approach aligns with their needs at this moment in their lives.
