Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT #151242

Lauren Cromer, LMFT, MA

I’m a licensed therapist for ambitious, anxious, and emotionally exhausted adults who are ready for something different.

I help thoughtful, capable adults, who are exhausted from holding it all together. Many of my clients are creatives, LGBTQIA+ folks, and neurodivergent adults who are tired of white-knuckling their way through life. My clients often appear successful and put-together on the outside — but inside, they’re overwhelmed, self-critical, disconnected, or unsure of who they really are.

You might be navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or relationship stress. Maybe you're questioning your identity, struggling with perfectionism, or feeling like you’re “too much” and “not enough” at the same time. My job is to create a space where all of that gets to come forward — without judgment, without masks, and without needing to perform.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply affirming.

I draw from evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Person-Centered Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy — all tailored to your specific needs. I also center LGBTQIA+ affirming care, neurodivergent-affirming therapy, and trauma-informed support in everything I do.

That means: I won’t pathologize your sensitivity, intensity, or the unique ways your brain works. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with care, curiosity, and radical self-compassion — and begin building a life that reflects who you really are.

Hi, I’m lauren cromer (she/her)

A little about me:

As a bi-racial, bisexual therapist with ADHD and lived experience as a trauma survivor, I know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen — especially in the places you’ve been told to hide or minimize. I hold space for the complex intersections of identity, family, culture, and mental health with warmth, attunement, and an honest sense of humor.

Therapy with me is relational, real, and rooted in your lived experience. You don’t need to show up polished or have it all figured out. You just need to show up — and we’ll take it from there.

This is a space where:

  • Women have agency

  • Survivors are believed

  • All bodies and abilities are honored

  • Neurodivergence is celebrated

  • Queerness is affirmed

  • Black lives matter

  • Sex work is real work

  • Consent is a non-negotiable

Whether you're managing OCD, anxiety, ADHD, or just feeling stuck in a life that doesn’t quite feel like your own — I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and a new way forward.

Let’s build something that actually fits you.
