Meet Lauren Godbey - MSW LICSW

Lauren is a seasoned therapist with over 16 years of experience as a social worker, supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging transitions. Her diverse background spans a variety of settings, bringing both depth and compassion to her clinical work.

Lauren works with a wide range of clients, including young adults navigating relationships, adults facing major life changes, individuals coping with grief or loss, and those managing chronic health conditions or the complexities of aging. She also has specialized experience working with Veterans and caregivers, offering support for the unique stressors they encounter.

Her therapeutic approach is person-centered, collaborative, and adaptable to each client’s needs. Lauren creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up authentically, explore difficult emotions, and reflect on patterns or beliefs that may no longer serve them. Together, she helps clients move forward in ways that align with their values and goals.

Guided by authenticity, openness, and a thoughtful sense of humor, Lauren brings warmth and humanity to every session. She understands that personal growth can be both challenging and empowering—and she considers it a privilege to walk alongside each individual on their path toward healing and change.

**Lauren is starting to see clients in mid August, she currently takes BCBS, Tricare and Hennepin Health with more insurances to come! Please email her directly or our admin team to set up an appointment today!
