Lauren Stenzel, MSW, LCSW

Congratulations on taking the steps to make your life more fulfilling and happier. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of Oregon for over 15 years and a social worker for over 25. In my private counseling practice, I have experience working with the multitude of challenges people face: Sadness, Depression, Loneliness, Anxiety, Relationship Challenges and Grief Counseling. I have a long history of working with hospice, developing and running grief & loss support groups and working with the hardships of the homeless and the ongoing trials of aging. My counseling style is warm, empathic and compassionate. There are no labels or judgement. I respect the fact that you know yourself better than I do. The types of approaches and counseling styles I use include Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Socratic Questioning. All of these styles assist you in understanding yourself and moving forward in a calm, non-judgmental manner. Our dialog and plan will be personalized to your unique and individual needs. I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
