Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in College Station, TX

Hi, my name is Lauren and I am so glad that you have chosen to seek help. Starting therapy for yourself or your child can be daunting, but I am committed to building trusting relationships with my clients and providing a space where honesty and vulnerability can flourish. I am passionate about recognizing each individual's unique experiences that have shaped them and working collaboratively with my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I tend to work best with families looking for more in-depth, personalized support

If you're a high-functioning, driven person who looks like you have it together—but internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained—you’re not alone.

You may be used to being the strong one... the dependable one... the one everyone leans on. But lately, it’s starting to feel exhausting.

You might find yourself overthinking everything, struggling to set boundaries without guilt, or constantly pushing through your day while feeling mentally drained. At some point, coping stops feeling like living.

Clients who work with me often go from:

• Constant overthinking → feeling more mentally clear and present

• People-pleasing → setting boundaries with confidence

• Anxiety-driven decisions → trusting themselves

• Emotional exhaustion → feeling more balanced and in control

The time we spend together will be collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your pace. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while also gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you.

You don’t have to keep pushing through this alone. If you're ready for meaningful change, I’d be honored to work with you.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.
