Lauren Gourley, LCSW
Introduction
Parenting, caregiving, and showing up for others can be deeply meaningful—and also incredibly overwhelming. I'm here to help. Whether you're navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or the postpartum period, adjusting to life with a new baby, or feeling stretched thin by the daily demands of parenting, we can work together to create space for your needs. I support clients through the intense and often invisible transitions that come with becoming a parent, coping with loss and change, or managing the mental load that never seems to let up. I work with healthcare providers, therapists, educators, and other professional helpers who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or struggling to balance the care they give to others with care for themselves. You don’t have to carry it all alone. I support families navigating challenges with young children—whether you're concerned about a specific behavior or just feeling stuck. My aim is to meet you where you are, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. In our work together, we’ll identify what matters most to you, and build practical, personalized strategies grounded in compassion. My approach is strengths-based and integrates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, self-compassion, child parent psychotherapy, evidence-based interventions and trauma-informed care.
