Lauren Rivers, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Masters in Social Work from the University of West Florida. Bachelors in Psychology with minors in child welfare and social welfare from the University of West Florida.

As a dedicated therapist, I am committed to providing compassionate and inclusive care to individuals across all age groups, including children, teens, and adults. With extensive experience working with diverse populations, I am proud to offer a welcoming and affirming space for all, and I am LGBTQIA+ informed and affirming. My specialties include infant mental health, trauma, anxiety, and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment theory, developmental psychology, and mindfulness- based practices, ensuring that each client receives the most effective and personalized care possible.

Additionally, I provide Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) evaluations across age groups, helping individuals and families better understand and navigate their unique experiences.

I strive to create an environment where clients feel truly heard and seen, free from judgment, and empowered to explore their unique paths to healing and growth.
