Professional statement

Lauren Martin is a Mental Health Associate Counselor (MHC-A) at Silvers Psychology & Wellness in Warwick, Rhode Island. Lauren received her Master's in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Salve Regina University. She works with adults of all ages (18+), in-person and remote, who are committed to deep transformational work for long lasting health and well-being. Her goal is to empower clients as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions.

Lauren has experience in outpatient therapy and works with a wide range of mental health concerns including—but not limited to, anxiety, life transitions, women’s issues, relationship concerns, sexuality topics, and self-esteem. Clients that work with Lauren can expect to learn tools to increase introspection and awareness, increase emotional regulation, and cultivate self-compassion and meaningful self-care practices. While Lauren has a toolbox full of different therapeutic interventions, she frequently utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Mindfulness based practices.

In session, Lauren enjoys walking alongside her clients as they take steps toward changing their lives and uncovering more joy and presence. Outside of session, Lauren is often found soaking up nature while walking, hiking, or swimming in the ocean, reading a novel or a book on holistic health, taking care of her jungle of plants, or spending time with the people she loves.


Message to clients

I am passionate about helping my clients navigate life's challenges and achieve their personal goals. My holistic approach creates a space where you can show up as your authentic self and trust that you will be welcomed, accepted, and cared for. My main goal is to provide a therapeutic bridge for each of my clients to heal, improve relationships, and evolve into who they want to be.

Therapy looks different for everyone—dependent on the concern, the treatment, the duration, and the individual. Therefore, when working with me it is always a collaborative process to establish individualized goals and treatment tailored to you. If you’re looking to make change, I have a naturally directive approach and tools to help you get moving. If you simply need a listening ear, I offer empathetic presence and tools to help you move at your own pace. If this sounds like support that could meet your needs—I'm excited to work with you.

I might be a great match if any of the following resonate with you:

-You would like to process in a nonjudgmental environment

-You want a directive approach

-You would like to learn to increase mindfulness and presence

-You are dealing with sexual and/or relational issues

-You would like to explore the mind-body-spirit connection

-You want breath work, meditation, or spirituality in session
