Prior to joining Mott Community College, Lauren worked in the clinical realm as a mental health therapist. Her years of clinical experience include working with multiple populations, ranging from children to elderly adults. She did behavioral therapy with children who had developmental delays and Autism Spectrum Disorder, and then she moved on to conducting individual and group therapy sessions with adolescents who had been expelled from the public school system. Lauren has also worked with the adult population, ranging from individuals who simply felt “stuck,” to individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses.
