Lauren does not accept any insurance plans at this time and is considered an out-of-network provider. We are happy to work with you to access your out-of-network benefits by providing Superbill receipts for sessions. These receipts can be submitted to your insurance company, often for partial reimbursement (30-80%) of the cost of sessions once a deductible is met. All insurance plans are different. We’re happy to talk through the process and explore the best option for you. 

Child, family, couple, and adult therapy begin with an assessment. We do a thorough review of the relevant history of treatment, symptoms, and events. Next, we work together to identify a treatment plan. Together, using our experience and the needs and preferences of the client, we will plan the frequency of sessions and who will attend. We capitalize on the internal resources of the family to help meet the goals of treatment. 

Virtual play therapy will occur in a private location of your home with toys that can be selected with the therapist ahead of time. It is helpful to have the therapist displayed on the screen of a tablet or laptop positioned on a chair so the child can move the therapist around the room. The age, maturity level, and home environment of the child will help us assess if virtual child therapy will be effective. Virtual therapy is often effective with older children and teens who can remain in their comfort zone while receiving treatment.

We developed a series of educational resource for parents and caregivers. Parenting brings many dilemmas! How do I manage tantrums? What discipline strategy really works? How do I teach body safety? Many of us are interested in doing things differently than our own parents did and wonder how to better handle these situations. Our gadget and guides are a collection of helpful, easy to read, easy to use ‘how tos’ written by therapists for these tough parenting moments.

We offer family activities, guides on specific topics, a helpful monthly newsletter, and for a deeper dive, webinars! These resources are written by therapists (and parents!) with many years of experience in exactly these situations.

Evergrow Gadgets are quick, easy “tools” focused on family activities that increase connection between family members.

Evergrow Guides are 1-3 page resources to help with specific issues like How do I teach self regulation strategies? How do I take care of myself as a parent? How do I foster good sibling relationships? These guides are full of action items and enough background information to give you confidence in using the strategy.

Sometimes we need more than just a few minutes of reading to feel confident in doing something new. Our webinars are no more than an hour long. We offer both live and recorded options to fit with your schedule. Affordably priced and starring your friendly Evergrow therapists, we break down a tough topic into actionable, easy to follow steps with just enough research and background information to increase your confidence.

Your email is only used to sign you up for our newsletter, the Evergrow Glimpse. It has a wealth of information, affirmations, and helpful parenting scripts for situations like–What do I say when our plans change? Or–everytime we go to a store, my son asks for a toy. How do I say no without causing a tantrum?

These resources, written and used by therapists, are helpful when specific situations pop up. When problems are getting in the way of everyday life, please contact us at Evergrow Therapy & Wellness Collective to learn about our therapy services. We offer virtual child therapy, family therapy, and individual adult therapy.
