Meet Lauren

Lauren Kolyn is a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapist who brings creativity, intuition, and compassion to her therapeutic work. She believes therapy is a collaborative and integrative process shaped by each client’s goals, experiences, and individuality. Drawing on her background as an artist, Lauren helps clients connect with their bodies, emotions, and thoughts to foster holistic self-understanding.

Booking FAQ

Does Lauren offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How do I know if Lauren is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
