Lauren Duncan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from North Central College. She began practicing social work in 2016 and has focused her work on supporting children and early adolescents.
Lauren helps clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, and interpersonal struggles.
She uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each child, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based strategies.
Lauren believes the therapeutic relationship is essential. She prioritizes building trust and creating a safe, judgment-free space where kids feel heard and understood.
“As a therapist and a parent, I know how important it is for children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming environment where your child can grow, explore, and overcome obstacles in their own way. I’m honored to be part of this journey with your family.”
