About Lauren Harper's Practice

I am honored you are considering therapy or coaching and specifically with me! I am a licensed psychologist who's practiced therapy for 8 years and recently opened a private practice to work for myself and be more accessible due to the need of more Black therapists. I am driven by my love for understanding human emotion and behavior through cultural experience. In practice this means I enjoy helping people live their most authentic and liberated lives while honoring how we came to know and understand ourselves and the world through our cultural lens. I am equipped to support people across mental health condition however my focus areas are anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and concerns of trauma. I am comfortable discussing racial and gender trauma, social and political concerns that impact your daily functioning, and familial, social or partner relationships that cause distress. In working with me you can expect that I will both challenge and support you through empathy, grace, humor/laughter, and me being my genuine and authentic self. 

Values and Approach

A few of my core values are transparency, authenticity, humor, and action behind my words. I use these values as guiding principles for how I approach my work and as reminders for how I should function when I feel off course. These values are important to me because they ensure I hold myself accountable to authentic practice. I apply these values through transparent pricing, bringing my full self to practice, and providing constructive criticism followed by active engagement in solutions.
