Meet Lauren

Hello and welcome to North Potomac Therapy!  My name is Lauren Farago and I am a nationally certified counselor and licensed clinical professional counselor in DC, MD, & VA.  I received my master’s training in counseling from Johns Hopkins University and have experience working with children, families, couples, and adults in individual and group outpatient settings.

I am passionate about helping clients alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD so they can lead more productive, peaceful lives.  I approach therapy from a humanistic prospective, encouraging clients to achieve personal goals using person-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques.

In our initial sessions together, I work to gain an understanding of your upbringing and development.  Moving forward, I take a client-centered focus and work with you to address problems you are presently facing through a historical lense.  We will work together to identify patterns that may be impacting your ability to achieve happiness and wellness.  We also address ambiguity toward change and evaluate barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals.

I believe that the foundation for success is a positive therapeutic relationship and I can’t wait to work together.  Reach out today for a free phone consultation or to schedule your first visit!

I am passionate about helping children, couples, and families impacted by ADHD diagnoses. I work with couples to understand how one partner’s ADHD diagnosis and symptoms are impacting the health of their relationship and overall functioning. I work with children to develop executive function skills necessary to succeed in the classroom and life and their parents on skills to help their child feel supported and improve family relationships.
