Dr. Lauren Messina’s Approach

Building Resilience in Relationships

I offer relationship-focused psychotherapy for adults, teenagers, families, individuals, and couples across the state of Maryland.

Whole Person Approach

As a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, I bring a whole person approach to my work in mental healthcare and health and wellness coaching. I integrate the pillars of lifestyle medicine – physical activity, nutrition, stress management, sleep, social connection, and avoiding risky substances – into sessions.

Health & Wellness Coaching

I’m excited to offer Health & Wellness Coaching for busy individuals, especially parents, looking to bring a better version of themselves to their lives and families. Health and Wellness Coaching is focused on behavior change and goal setting.
