Lauren Lowenthal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the greater Seattle area who specializes in working with adults in the following areas: mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and career challenges and workplace difficulties. Lauren also works specifically with the traditional and non-traditional college student populations.
When working with clients with a history of trauma, Lauren utilizes a combination of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help her clients change their thought patterns and reduce the memories' lasting effects. She also helps clients gain a better understanding of the mind-body connection to reduce both their mental and physical symptoms.
Lauren spends time getting to know her clients before developing an effective individualized treatment plan. She utilizes a number of different treatment modalities, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and Supportive Therapy. Lauren also uses assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for self-discovery and career considerations.
Lauren will both challenge and support you on your journey towards healing and actively pursuing the life you want. She entered the counseling profession after spending over two decades working in corporate human resources and organizational consulting. She looks forward to meeting you.
