Lauren Rickman, MS

Accepting new clients.

I believe all humans have a need to feel heard and strive to provide a safe place for that. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and view my clients as the experts on their own lives. I embrace diversity and encourage clients to come as they are- everyone is welcome here!

I am a bilingual therapist who provides therapy in English and Spanish to people of all ages.
