Lauren’s Bio

I spent the past two years working in a Community Mental Health agency as a licensed Certified Social Worker in Louisville, KY. As a Therapist, I assisted 250 clients that ranged from ages 18-80. I cared for individuals with serious mental illness, intellectual disabilities and issues facing those of aging adults. I received my undergraduate degree at New York University while being a member of my varsity basketball. During 12 years of living in New York City, I first began my passion for working aging adults. As I have recently relocated to Los Angeles, I am eager to begin caregiving and learning more about this community. I am compassionate, thoughtful, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to help my clients. Former supervisors would say I am detail oriented, self sufficient, strong communicator and excellent problem solver. References are gladly available upon request.
