Lauren Abasheva M.Ed, LMHC, LPCC, CST


Hello There! My name is Lauren Abasheva (Abba-Sha-Vah). I am a survivor. I identify as an ally, and my pronouns are (She/Her). Welcome to the studio!

Do you ever feel like you have to monitor, pull back, and even hide yourself from others?. From friends, family, acquaintances, even from yourself? Do you tend to put your needs and wants at the bottom of the list?. Are you ready to commit to you?. Together we will work side by side to help strengthen your confidence, awareness, insight, healing, and make progress within yourself. As a Certified Sex therapist, Kink knowledgeable, and Gender affirming therapist, I understand that we are all different, and provide a laid back atmosphere.

I focus on helping others build an understanding about not only themselves, their identity, their relationships with others, relationships within the family, in their community/environment, etc. I also focus on the relationship you have with your body, as well as what you put into your body. While utilizing evidence-based practices, I strive to support, encourage, and empower you. Depending on your background, physical environment, social circle, culture, heredity, and experiences. Life can look limited. Let’s continue to stay curious. There are options out there that do align with you and your values. Let’s work together resulting in a healthier and happier you.
