Integrative therapy & EMDR

Lauren Palmer, MA, LPC-Associate

Supervised by Kirsti Reese, LPC-S

Lauren’s therapeutic approach is based on the belief that we all deserve the space and freedom to explore the “messiness” that makes us human. She works to help clients demystify emotions that seem to arise out of nowhere, fostering self-insight and a greater sense of internal stability. She believes that therapy can be both a place to acquire practical skills to alleviate symptoms in the present and an opportunity for deeper work — exploring painful past experiences that have shaped (or shattered) clients’ sense of self and understanding of their place in the world.

Lauren is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained, a modality used to soothe a hypervigilant nervous system that still feels in danger even after a threat has passed. Additionally, approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based interventions inform Lauren’s approach to treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Modalities aside, Lauren believes in genuine curiosity in the therapy room, recognizing the complexities of human experience rather than depending on a one-size-fits-all approach.
