Welcome to

Wild Violet Counseling

therapy rooted in flexibility, curiosity and authenticity

I'm happy you're here.

I'm Lauren, a licensed mental health professional working in Tennessee

I am a long term, relational therapist who supports people aged 16 and older through the ups and downs of their unique journey. My goal is to collaborate with you to create a safe and constructive environment in order to know the previously unknowable.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and the perinatal time period. I provide affirming care to members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a lesbian, I share an implicit understanding with those in the queer community. My approach to trauma treatment is gentle and narrative based, while incorporating stabilizing skills and nervous system regulation.
