Lauren Holcomb, MSW Intern
she/her
Hi, I’m Ren,
I’m an MSW Intern who supports children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and explore their emotions. I believe everyone has their own strengths, and together we can identify and build on those throughout the therapeutic process. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged, while making therapy a meaningful and engaging experience!
My Approach to Therapy
I strive to create a warm, safe, and inviting space where children, teens, and young adults feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their thoughts openly. My approach is rooted in authenticity and a humanistic perspective, emphasizing connection, trust, and empowerment. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth, and I use evidence-based interventions to support meaningful, lasting change. I aim to create an environment where honesty feels safe and clients feel truly seen and heard. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and confident in creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy traveling to new places and taking photos. In my free time, I’m often watching a good true crime documentary or spending time at the beach—being near the water is where I feel most at ease.
We'd be a great fit if...
- You’re a child, teen, or young adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or constant worry.
- You’re searching for a safe, affirming space where your identity is fully respected.

- You feel caught in the middle of family tension or conflict.
- You are open to virtual therapy in North Carolina.
- You are an adult over the age of 18.
