About My Practice
My Services
I offer a wide range of counseling services, including individual counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and more. Services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each of our clients.
In our work together, you can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space where you'll be encouraged to explore at your own pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, we will work together to create meaningful change.
My Philosophy
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey—one built on trust, safety, and a respect for each person's lived experience. My role as a therapist is not to give answers, but to create a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with compassion and curiosity.
I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective, which means I consider how past experiences shape current functioning, while also honoring your resilience and capacity for growth. I believe healing happens by increasing self-understanding, building skills, and reconnecting with what matters most to you.
My Approach
I have an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities to best meet the unique needs of each client. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method in therapy—what’s most important is finding what works for you.
For those impacted by trauma, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective approach for processing and healing from distressing experiences.
about the therapist
Hi, I’m Lauren Smith, LPC and owner of The Mindful 60, LLC— a wife, a proud mom of two beautiful girls, and an aunt to three sweet nieces who light up my world. My journey into the field of therapy began with a deep passion for helping others heal. That passion led me to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and later, a Master of Arts in Counseling from LeTourneau University. Following my graduate studies, I obtained a license to practice from the Louisiana State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors.
As a therapist, I bring a soft, compassionate presence paired with a straightforward, supportive approach. My clients often describe me as both warm and honest — someone who gently challenges them while always holding space for growth and healing. I believe that therapy is not just about talking; it's about connecting, reclaiming your power, and doing the meaningful work that leads to lasting change.
Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me soaking up time with my family and navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood — especially the toddler years! If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’d love to connect and walk alongside you.
