Depression and anxiety are topics that aren't often discussed within the black community. On this two part episode, I bring on Lauren Michelle Jackson (LCPC) as a guest to discuss the causes and effects of depression and anxiety.

About Lauren Michelle Jackson:

Passionate, empathetic and a driven desire to help facilitate positive change in the lives of others is the motivating force behind Lauren Michelle Jackson. Having the ability to relate to others and find common ground has served her well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Life Coach, Certified Domestic Violence,Professional, Speaker and Women’s Advocate.

Lauren’s passion for serving others began when she started her counseling career as a Domestic Violence Therapist and Community Educator. Under this title, Lauren provided individual and family therapy services to victims and their children, lead women empowerment groups, ran teen and adult dating violence seminars & workshops, taught Domestic Violence educational courses and conducted outreach presentations on the importance of Domestic Violence Awareness.

Within the therapeutic relationship, Lauren believes therapy should be a collaborative process, however just like most things in life, one get’s out of therapy what they are willing to put in it. It is her aim to provide a supportive and objective environment for clients to explore, become educated and to create the change they desire to see.
