Lauren Gates

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

For long-lasting change to occur in therapy, I believe you must feel truly heard, valued, and cared for in treatment. I continuously collaborate with you to assess the progress of treatment together so that you truly feel you are growing in your therapeutic journey.

I specialize in adults who wish to engage in deep insight-oriented work when struggling with areas such as depression, self-esteem issues, life transitions, or relational challenges. As a clinical social worker, I have been privileged to work with clients of various races, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. I greatly value the knowledge I receive from my clients’ lives and experiences, and I strive to create a culturally competent space for you.
