LCMHCA Supervision
Whether you're in your first work experience, or embarking on a second or third career, Lauren Kaufmann, MA, LCMHCS of the Mindful Planner is able to offer clinical supervision for LCMHCA's who wish to broaden their clinical skills and grow into the profession.
Perinatal Counseling
Inviting a baby to join your life is a huge life change! The processes of conceiving, pregnancy, adoption, and matrescence/patrescence (the transformation of becoming a parent) can bring up a host of feelings that might be overwhelming to a new parent. Additionally, the couple can struggle with adjusting to having the new relationship dynamics involved in so many life balance shifts. Having support in processing these feelings and experiences can make a huge difference in you, your partner, and your child's lives.

Premarital Counseling & Assessment
Exploring your marriage through the use of a premarital assessment can be a great step for couples who feel as though they have a strong foundation but wish to set aside dedicated time to explore their relationship. We will focus on setting up your marriage for success through goal setting and exploration. The Mindful Planner will also help explore issues of family, religion, communication styles, and more, in order to create a plan for your marriage.
Day of Coordination
The Mindful Planner specializes in coordinating weddings for couples who need or want additional emotional support and understanding during their planning phase and actual wedding day. Many of the couples who choose to work with The Mindful Planner have lost a parent, have a challenging family dynamic, experience chronic health conditions or disabilities, or struggle with mental health challenges that make planning a wedding more stressful than it already is! And some couples choose The Mindful Planner because they want a Day of Coordinator who will be cool, calm, and collected.
