Hi, my name is Lauren Hardy and I have a Master of Arts in counseling psychology, with a concentration in mental health. I have worked as a mental health counselor in a variety of different settings providing counseling services to clients of all ages and a wide variety of diagnoses. Additionally, I have over two years of experience in the treatment field as a research analyst at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. With my years of experience in the mental health field and hours I have put in as a researcher, I am able to give insight into the difficulties surrounding psychiatric disorders and the treatment process.
