About Laren Nease

Hi, I’m Laren! I think the best therapy happens when you feel genuinely seen, just actually met where you are.

My approach is relational, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and relational-cultural frameworks among others, tailoring my approach to fit what you need within my scope of practice. You bring the knowledge of your own life; I’ll bring the tools, the framework, and the space. Together, we’ll figure out the rest.

I’m culturally affirming, neuro-affirming, and welcoming of all LGBTQIA+ identities, bringing a genuine curiosity to what makes each person’s experience unique. I work primarily with young adults and adults navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, and the general weight of being a person, including those managing mood, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. I also have experience working with children and adolescents on social-emotional learning, identity, relational development, and supportive work.

I know reaching out can feel like a big step, but I’m glad you’re here.
