Lauren Allsop, LMSW

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out, you are not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Lauren Allsop, LMSW offers a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, breathe, and begin making sense of what they’ve been holding inside for so long. Lauren practices under the supervision of Brittany Carter.

Many clients come to Lauren feeling anxious, emotionally reactive, drained by stress, or weighed down by relationship challenges and painful family dynamics.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been managing everything on your own. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan to begin—just a willingness to show up.
