Lauren Joyce, RMHCI

Teen & Adult Therapist
Coral Springs Office

Lauren is a trauma-focused therapist at Genesis Counseling, providing therapy in our Coral Springs office and virtually throughout Florida. She specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and adults, offering compassionate and client-centered care to help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Lauren earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University and is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI), actively completing her hours toward licensure. She believes in transparency, authenticity, and humility, fostering a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and challenges.

Her clinical experience began in New York City, working with mandated clients from the criminal justice system. While this is not her primary area of focus today, this experience has strengthened her ability to support diverse populations and complex mental health challenges while maintaining unconditional positive regard for each client.

As a trauma-focused clinician, Lauren understands the impact of trauma on both cognitive and physiological levels. Beyond traditional talk therapy, she integrates EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Clinical Hypnotherapy, which are highly effective in helping clients regulate their nervous systems, process trauma, and find relief from distressing symptoms. Additionally, she incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop healthier thought patterns, build resilience, and create a fulfilling life.

Lauren’s expertise includes treating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, sexual disorders, PTSD, trauma, marital and relationship issues, co-parenting challenges, and blended family dynamics. She believes that the meaning we assign to our experiences shapes our self-perception and worldview, and she works with clients to reframe their narratives, build confidence, and embrace their strengths.

Dedicated to ongoing professional growth, Lauren continuously expands her skills and clinical knowledge to provide the highest level of care. She is passionate about helping clients find their voice, gain self-awareness, and create meaningful change.

As an Independent Contractor with Genesis Counseling, Lauren is in-network with United Healthcare, Optum, Oscar, Cigna, Aetna, Florida Blue / BCBS, Humana, and TriCare. She also accepts private pay clients, with session fees ranging from $125–$175.

If you’re seeking a therapist who prioritizes connection, personal growth, and trauma-informed care, Lauren is here to support you. Whether in Coral Springs or virtually across Florida, she is ready to help you navigate challenges and build a fulfilling life.
