About Me

Improve Your Life

Hi, I’m Lauryn Blandford, LMHC, and I’m the founder of NorthShore Collaborative Solutions — a therapy practice dedicated to helping teens, adults, and parents heal from trauma, anxiety, and life’s big transitions through EMDR and evidence-based therapy.

If you’re here, chances are you (or your child) have been doing your best to hold it all together — juggling school, relationships, parenting, or just the pressure of everyday life — but it’s starting to feel heavy. Maybe anxiety shows up as irritability, shutdowns, or that constant feeling of being “too much” or “not enough.” I get it. And I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone.

I help clients move from survival mode to a place of calm, confidence, and self-trust. My approach is real, validating, and connection-focused — no judgment, no stuffy therapy talk. Just honest conversations that help you understand yourself, regulate your emotions, and build the life you actually want.

I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and perinatal mental health, and I specialize in helping clients who’ve experienced trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. Whether you’re a teen struggling to manage stress and self-doubt, a young adult navigating identity and independence, or a parent trying to stay grounded while supporting your child, I offer a safe space for healing, growth, and relief.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself — to feel safe in your body, confident in your choices, and hopeful about your future.

"Working with Lauryn has been a true blessing after the birth of my first child. Her compassionate guidance and unwavering support provided me with the tools and reassurance I needed during this transformative time. From navigating the rollercoaster of emotions to managing self-care and adjusting to new routines she provided invaluable advice and a non-judgmental space to express my concerns. Her expertise not only eased my anxieties but also empowered me to embrace motherhood with confidence and resilience. I am immensely grateful for her and all her support"
