Lauren McKeown

LMSW

Lauren is a licensed, clinical master level social worker dually licensed in Michigan and Ohio. She received her bachelors and graduate degree from Western Michigan University. She has been providing clinical care for over 15 years and is trained in multiple evidence based therapies; to include Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, Comprehensive Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She has experience working with couples to explore and create a DEEP analysis (Differences between partners, Emotional Sensitivities, External Stressors and Patterns of interactions) to work with couples to gain a thorough understanding of the root causes of their issues and assist them in developing strategies for acceptance and change within the relationship. She has provided  care for individuals struggling in areas of suicidality, depression, trauma, anxiety, personality disorders, shame, grief, self-criticism, and general life challenges and life transitions.

Lauren believes in the importance of being seen, heard and understood. That we are not meant to go through struggles alone, and the quality of connections and conversations are contributing factors in how we heal. She uses a unique multicultural, multi-interventional approach with everyone she sees that empowers individuals to cultivate healthy relationships in their lives, and make conscious choices toward healing.

Lauren works together with individuals to create a space in life to explore who they are and identify what they’d like to see different. She acknowledges the privilege it is to sit next to individuals in their experience, especially when the point of being there is to offer perspective, encouragement, and hope on their journey to progress. During your initial session you’ll spend time exploring what you would like to see different as a result of your time working together; how to increase your experience of positive emotions in life and how to move towards goals that align with your values and identity.

In her free time Lauren enjoys gardening, hiking, kayaking baking, and reading. She offers virtual appointments only to ensure her dog Tulip, aka coworker during normal business hours, receives all the pets and love she wants.
