The Therapist Group
Lauren Brittsan, LPC, PMH-C
Lauren Brittsan is the founder and primary therapist at MHWW. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver and is certified in perinatal mental health.
Lauren’s passion for helping women heal through the power of counseling and community is the direct result of her drive to normalize the need for mental health support, as well as her own lived experiences.
​
She works with women across the reproductive lifespan - particularly those struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and individuals wanting to better understand all the stressors that come with life's changes and transitions. Lauren's specialty in perinatal mental health allows her to support those needing help as they navigate preconception planning, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. She is trained in Perinatal Narrative Exposure Therapy (P-NET) which is a modality focusing on exploring and processing trauma related to birth, traumatic pregnancy, pregnancy/infant loss and more.
Her warm and empathetic approach makes her especially skilled at helping individuals and couples navigate difficult experiences such as high risk pregnancies and infertility. Lauren provides support to those who have experienced a perinatal loss and are in need of bereavement counseling.
Her goal is always to provide a non judgmental and warm environment where she can support her clients as they heal and cope.
In addition to being licensed in the state of Colorado, Lauren is also a registered telehealth provider in the state of Florida.
Ruby Falk, MA, LPCC
Ruby’s training is in family systems therapy. She specializes in working with couples and individuals who are navigating relationship changes after a major life transition, like the birth of a child, or the loss of a loved one.
Issues like anxiety and depression can cloud your ability to trust that you can handle the harder parts of life. Ruby specializes in targeting the root causes of your anxiety, while closely examining the relationships in your life that led you to this point. Together, you’ll create practices and techniques for you to work on outside of therapy to help you reach your goals faster.
On a personal and professional level, Ruby has a deep sense of empathy for the human experience. As much as your resilience is worth celebrating, it’s also important to step back, catch your breath, and acknowledge that it isn’t always easy. Her goal is to encourage you to be the most authentic version of yourself.
