Lauren Bruyere
MS, LPC (WI), LPCC (MN)

I believe that people grow when they feel seen and heard. With that in mind, I strive to bring authenticity, realness, humor, and compassionate directness to the therapy space. I work to develop a supportive environment for you to feel safe to show up exactly as you are, and consider it a privilege to get to sit with you as you take the brave step to know yourself deeper.

Choosing to pursue therapy is already an act of courage and commitment to yourself, and I believe deeply in each person’s capacity to continually grow and change. I would be honored to get to know you, just as you are, and all you are becoming!

I specialize in working with individuals with a variety of life stressors, including anxiety, depression, life change, and complex trauma histories. This often looks like strengthening your connection to yourself; fostering greater self-awareness, compassion, and trust. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which serve as a support to your healing, assisting in releasing negative beliefs you may hold about yourself due to past trauma. I also use techniques from Internal Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Child-Centered Play Therapy to ensure that your unique needs are met.
