Lauren Nutbrown, MA, Canadian Clinical Counsellor | CCPA

Finding the right counsellor can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-based, tailored to your unique needs.

I’m especially passionate about helping people with eating disorders, OCD, ADHD, and trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for eating disorders, among other therapeutic modalities. No matter where you are in your journey, we’ll work together to build the tools and confidence you need to move forward.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect.
