I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and empowering. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to.

Lauren Rooney

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


If you've lost someone to suicide, you know that grief doesn't fit neatly into a box, and finding a therapist who truly understands that kind of loss can feel impossible. I've spent my career doing crisis work alongside police departments and mobile crisis units, and I specialize in working with people navigating suicide loss, as well as first responders and fellow mental health professionals who carry more than most people realize. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
