Lauren DiGennaro LMHC

Lauren uses “out of the box” techniques such as nature, art, and music as a means for healing and helping others find their unique voice. Her passion for mental health and well-being comes from her personal experience in overcoming chronic health challenges where she saw first-hand how interconnected our bodies and minds are. In her free time, Lauren enjoys playing in nature through swimming, hiking, biking, or just soaking in the sun when it decides to come out!
