About
Founder & Therapist
Lauren Parrish, LCSW
Welcome! I'm Lauren Parrish, LCSW, and I offer relational, attachment-based therapy in Wilson, NC. My core specialty is supporting early-childhood development and parent-child relationships through Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) interventions. I also work with teens and caregivers navigating emotional stressors, developmental transitions, and family changes.
​
I have worked in a wide range of clinical settings, including school-based therapy, a wellness clinic for teens, community-based services, and private practice. I completed extensive training in a specialized treatment model, Child Parent Psychotherapy, allowing me treat children under age 6. I am also a certified facilitator of an attachment-based parenting program, which informs my work alongside parents and caregivers.
​
My passion for early childhood mental health, play-based therapy, teens going through difficult transitions, and caregiver support, creates invaluable therapeutic connections needed to encourage meaningful and lasting change.
