Lauren Brown, M.A. LPC

My clients describe me as:

warm, open, and affirming.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am client-centered and collaborative. I believe wholeheartedly that you are the expert on your life and I am here to be a conduit.

Together, we will:

achieve your goal by processing your experience(s), naming the problem, and understanding the narrative that underwrites your movement in the world. I will give you space, guidance and encouragement to re-author your story.

I specialize in working with people who:

are LGBTQIA+ and those who have a history of trauma. I work with children, teens and adults who are navigating life transitions. Also, queer families trying to conceive, coming out, family of origin issues, etc.

I became a therapist because:

holding space for someone is unequivocally the most sacred task and once upon a time my life was changed by someone who held space for me.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I practice in Alexandria, VA and I offer telehealth statewide

More about me and my practice:

I believe that the personal is the political. I am deeply committed to issues of social injustice. I know that looking for a therapist can be intimidating. Put your nerves aside and give me a call :)
