Lauren Ivey, MA, LCAS, CCTP

Lauren is a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist who graduated from Liberty University with a Master’s degree in Applied and Developmental Psychology.

Lauren’s therapeutic approach is person-centered and integrative, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients gain insight into the underlying factors influencing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She firmly believes that every individual has the capacity for growth and change.

Lauren works with men and women who struggle with an addictive behavior that serves as a coping mechanism for various mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, low self-esteem, internal conflict, stress management, etc.

She is passionate about helping clients identify their strengths, establish healthy coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and ultimately work toward long-term healing and recovery.
