Bloom Within You Therapy (She/Her)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lauren Graham, LCSW
I believe therapy should be a place where you can talk openly about the parts of your life that may feel difficult, personal, or even uncomfortable to discuss elsewhere. I specialize in working with women around sexual wellness, intimacy, low desire, sexual shame, relationship concerns, and reconnecting with their bodies and sense of self.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is eclectic, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based methods and tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs, goals, experiences, and personality. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, attachment-based work, mindfulness, and trauma-informed interventions.
In sex therapy, I also incorporate education about sexual desire, arousal, intimacy, communication, and the many emotional, relational, and contextual factors that influence sexual wellbeing. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to concerns such as low desire, sexual shame, avoidance, or difficulty feeling connected to your body or partner.
My goal is to create a collaborative, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where therapy feels practical and personalized. We will work together to find strategies that fit your life while helping you develop greater self-understanding, confidence, and a healthier relationship with intimacy and sexuality.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and judgment-free. I understand that concerns related to sex and intimacy are rarely “just about sex.” Stress, relationships, past experiences, body image, mental health, life transitions, and the messages we have received about sexuality can all influence how we experience desire and connection.
