Lauren Ray is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor who works with children, teens, adults, and parents. Her work is grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and developmentally informed, trauma-responsive care.

Lauren supports clients navigating emotional regulation challenges, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. With children, she uses play and the therapeutic relationship as the primary tools for helping kids express, process, and integrate their emotional experiences in ways that feel safe and age-appropriate.

She has a particular specialty in supporting young children adjusting to family transitions such as separation or divorce, and works closely with parents to strengthen attachment, consistency, and emotional understanding across caregiving relationships.

Lauren also works extensively with adults, integrating Brainspotting into trauma-focused therapy when appropriate. Her approach is relational, intentional, and carefully paced, with attention to nervous-system readiness and collaboration.
