I'm Lauren Olshtein, and I'm passionate about helping others as they navigate their mental health goals. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to help you create meaningful change and build the life you want to live. I earned my B.A.S. in psychology from Northwestern University in Chicago, where I was also an All-American soccer player. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, perseverance, and the mental strength required to pursue excellence—lessons I bring into my therapeutic work. I'm currently completing my doctorate degree in clinical mental health counseling at Western States University, combining rigorous academic training with practical clinical experience. My approach integrates person-centered therapy, solution-focused interventions, and psychodynamic techniques to provide comprehensive, tailored care. I believe in honoring your unique experience and perspective (person-centered), helping you identify and achieve specific goals (solution-focused), and exploring deeper patterns that may be influencing your current challenges (psychodynamic). This combination allows us to address both immediate concerns and underlying issues for lasting change. While I have specialized training in sports psychology and understand the unique mental challenges that athletes face, my expertise extends far beyond sports. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive (OCD), relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming thoughts, difficulty concentrating, feeling disconnected from loved ones, or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, I'm here to provide support. I'm committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be authentically yourself. I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you work toward your therapeutic goals. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you build on your existing strengths while developing new skills and insights.
