Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“You are looking for support in your transition to motherhood, for yourself and for your relationship with your baby. Whether you are pregnant or parenting a toddler, Lauren Fox, LCSW, PMH-C can help you by focusing on your mental wellness to process and heal trauma as well as develop new skills for your future.”

About Me

I understand the unique challenges of transitioning to motherhood. Whether pregnant or parenting a toddler, I help you navigate this profound period for yourself and your baby. My focus is your mental wellness. We will process and heal trauma, collaboratively developing new skills for a confident future. Our sessions offer a calm space to strengthen your bond and build resilience.

Approach

Moving into this new chapter, I focus on how we do the work together: slow, practical, and responsive to both your needs and your baby's cues. I meet with parents in English from my La Quinta office and online, keeping sessions flexible to match nap schedules and the real rhythms of family life. Sessions are collaborative—skill-building in short, manageable steps, trauma work paced to what you can hold, and concrete parenting experiments between visits with brief check-ins. Those seeking steady, usable tools tend to find this approach helpful.
