Lauren Stoner

Lauren Stoner, LCSW, is dedicated to helping individuals move towards their true selves in the present moment. Those seeking therapy often grapple with significant life questions, and Lauren creates a safe environment where clients can reflect on their thoughts, emotions, and somatic experiences. Many of the individuals she works with have faced trauma at various levels—personal, community, or systemic—and find it challenging to navigate these feelings independently. Clients may be dealing with grief, anxiety, worry, or depression, and together, they will explore unfinished business and address what emerges in order to integrate balance and hope into their lives. Lauren employs a blended approach, utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities to support her clients. Understanding that distress can stem from systemic issues—including racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression—she seeks to find pathways to hope in the midst of challenging circumstances. The therapeutic alliance is recognized as a critical factor for positive outcomes, and Lauren believes that if a client feels they are not a right match, it is important to continue the search for a therapist who is. Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal and grow.
