Lauren Moyer, LCSW

Lauren is a licensed clinical social worker and works with individuals in adolescence through adulthood. She specializes in stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity exploration, as well as the unique challenges and transitions of pregnancy and postpartum. 

She is committed to fostering a warm and inviting therapeutic environment where healing and growth can flourish. She believes without exception that all humans have the capacity for growth and healing, and can be emotionally well. She loves offering support in groups as well.

In high school, Lauren found her psychology classes fascinating and never doubted that this was the path she would take for a career. People in her life were always drawn to her calming energy and coming to her for support. Her knack for holding space for others through challenging times validated this passion for helping humans overcome obstacles so they could tap into their true selves. 

Her career as a therapist began in 2010 after graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in psychology. She went on to graduate with a master's in clinical social work from Portland State University. Additionally, she holds a second master's degree in Health and Human Performance and training as a wellness coach with a holistic health perspective, drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, from Pacific College of Health and Science. 

Lauren's specialized training includes Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Therapy, perinatal mental health, Polyvagal theory, mindfulness and meditation, therapeutic breathwork, and somatic experiencing. These modalities allow Lauren to support clients in harnessing the wisdom of their bodies to heal emotional wounds and remember who they truly are, at their core. 

Outside of her professional life, Lauren cherishes time spent in nature, camping, enjoying activities with her kids and husband, taking care of her dogs, cat, and tortoises, and exploring the culinary arts by creating delicious meals.
