Hi there, my name is Lauren Daniel and I use she/her pronouns.

If you've been feeling stuck and are looking for meaningful change, you're in the right place. My first goal in therapy is that you feel safe, comfortable, and validated in my office. It is in the presence of connection that healing can begin. I utilize primarily holistic, strengths-based, and person-centered methods to create a supportive yet challenging working relationship with individuals.

As a therapist deeply committed to the principles of anti-oppression, social activism, and harm reduction, my mission is to guide individuals on a transformative journey toward reconnecting with their genuine selves. I pull tools from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-trained clinician. I work full-time as the Clinical Director for a nonprofit permanent supportive housing agency in St. Paul and maintain a part-time outpatient therapy caseload primarily during the evening hours. I am a board approved licensing supervisor through the MN Board of Social Work and the MN Board of Behavioral Health & Therapy.

Some of my areas of specific interest include:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Trauma
• LGBTQIA+ identities
• Neurodivergent identities
• Attachment
• Personality Disorders
• Children/adolescent grief
• Adjustment/life transition difficulties
• EMDR
• Helping Professionals
• Burnout
• Stress Management
• Substance Abuse
• Suicidal Ideation
• Self-Harming Behaviors

Lauren can be reached by calling the office at 651-504-4297 or by emailing info@emeraldtherapyllc.com. Online self-scheduling is on our appointments and portal page or at emeraldtherapy.clientsecure.me.
