Lauren Pifer
Hello, I'm Lauren! I provide EMDR therapy to help adults process experiences from childhood, including trauma, in a way that promotes self-understanding, healing, and growth. At Present Way Counseling, my work focuses on young adults and women and creating a safe, supportive space for lasting change. Maybe you experience anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, difficulty trusting yourself or others, or low self-esteem. Together, we will work toward you feeling more grounded, confident, and self-empowered.
EMDR is a type of therapy that helps your brain process difficult or distressing experiences. This therapy is helpful for working through early life experiences. I have completed EMDR training with Precision EMDR, which focuses on attachment and developmental trauma. I'm currently pursuing EMDRIA certification.
You’ll leave our sessions feeling more clarity and connection within yourself. We’ll connect with your inner wisdom and explore new perspectives together. I look forward to talking with and making a connection with you, and it’s an honor to walk alongside you.
