Clinician Bio
Lauren Kalvari
MSW RSW
Social Worker
“I love what I do and believe in the ability of people to change their present situation! I work with a trauma-informed approach with the ultimate goal to cope and thus “get up in the morning” with a purpose. I cautiously unpack trauma histories replacing them with new meanings and hope.”
