My daughter had tried two conventional counselors and quit because she did not find them helpful. She met with Lauren for a few months and came away with glowing, positive comments on the difference the strategies she had learned in counseling were making in her life. She integrates these strategies into her daily routine and as a parent I can see the difference they have made. My daughter's experience was so impressive I also advocated for my husband to begin seeing Lauren. He is just now wrapping up his treatment and I have observed the benefits to him as well. While I don't suffer from anxiety, depression or panic attacks and think of myself as relatively well adjusted and a mentally healthy individual, I found myself introspective with some issues. She provided me with insight. I believe most people can benefit from a professional who is educated, skilled, passionate, and knowledgable. For our family Lauren is that person. Lauren has an uncanny ability to listen, extrapolate the target weakness of each individual client and apply the modules designed to address said shortcomings. She is direct, listens and with unabashed honesty shares her insight and assessment to target and improve the way the client perceives and interacts in their world.

"I first saw Lauren when I was in critical condition for an eating disorder. One of my favorite things about her is that she tailors her therapy techniques to your individual issues. She really found a way to address the root of the problem and taught me strategies to deal with it. In therapy, it felt like she knew exactly what I was going through, because of her experience and caring personality. Lauren understands that people have many issues in their day to day life and I still continue to see her when life throws me curve balls. After therapy with Lauren, I feel like a weight is lifted off my chest and I have the tools I need to continue to live my life in a healthy way."

"Lauren Campen is wonderful! Today’s world is full of so much peer pressure and social media ideals for young teens and young adults and Lauren is amazing at helping them see the light at the end of the tunnel struggling to grow up. She was so great at working with my daughter, listening and giving her tools to deal with her self-esteem issues and uncertainties during high school and as she has transitioned to college. Lauren didn’t just work with my daughter, but also with our family, giving us the guidance and tools to help along the way too. Lauren even went above and beyond to help my daughter when she was out of state at college and needed counseling by scheduling facetime/skype and phone sessions. I would highly recommend Lauren for your child and family counseling needs. I know my daughter would not be where she is today without Lauren’s help!"

"I have had the pleasure of sharing many patients with Lauren Campen over the years. Ms. Campen has been an invaluable resource with regard to managing patients with substantial psychosocial stressors and emotional complexity. She has always provided a high level of care to the patients that I have had in common with her, and my patients have spoken very highly of her without exception. My patients find Ms. Campen to be pleasant as well as highly effective. Counseling with Ms. Campen is a very productive experience. In particular, if I have a patient that I think would benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Ms. Campen is the first therapist that I think of. She is highly skilled in this mode of therapy. I would strongly recommend Ms. Campen to anyone in need of counseling."

"Lauren Campen has been a great help to me during a very troublesome time in my life. She has helped guide me though the very difficult issues of addiction in my family and the swarm of emotions and anxiety that come along with having a child fall prey to addiction. In the process, I have not only come to better terms with my life situation, but I have discovered a better understanding and appreciation for myself and my life as a whole.
Lauren offers me a fresh perspective and honest, sincere, and direct feedback with real skills and options to help me maneuver and thrive in this ever changing life. Lauren has not only given me hope, but actual tools to help me along the way. It’s hard to put into words the positive impact that Lauren has had in my life and I highly recommend her as a therapist."

"The quality of our daughter's life has greatly improved as a result of the counseling services provided by Lauren Campen. We have observed our daughter using the tools and skills that Lauren teaches and the result is a happier young person who has the ability to navigate through difficult emotional peaks and valleys which, in the past, could be crippling. She is an open communicator and we see her as a partner in our daughter's well being. Our entire family has benefited from Lauren's expertise."

"Lauren is the therapist for a young woman who is a student at the school where I am the school counselor. We collaborated together to put a plan in place to support this particular student. During my time collaborating with Lauren, she has been incredibly professional, honest and helpful. She made herself available whenever necessary taking my calls on her days off and taking time to attend meetings at the school. She has a thorough understanding of her client and is aptly able to offer suggestions for tools, interventions and accommodations to support her client. I have enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her as a therapist."
