Who We Are

At Lauren Mallon Psychotherapy, a Psychotherapy practice based in Burlington, Ontario, we know that struggles don't always look obvious from the outside. You might be overwhelmed, questioning yourself, navigating a major change, carrying something incredibly difficult, or simply feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself somewhere along the way.

We believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or intimidating but more like a space where you can show up as you are, without having to filter yourself, say the “right” thing, or have it all figured out. Authenticity is at the heart of our work, and we aim to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and grounded, where every part of you is welcome.

We support youth, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, overwhelm, identity and relationship challenges, neurodivergence, perimenopause and menopause, cancer diagnoses, caregiving for aging parents, and the unique pressures experienced by high-performance athletes.

Our approach is relational, collaborative, practical, and client-centred. Together, we make sense of what’s going on, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build tools that actually feel doable in everyday life, not just in theory.

Our goal isn’t to change who you are. It’s to help you feel more steady, more confident, and more like yourself again.

I live by the philosophy that I am a human first and a therapist second and bring that into the work that I do every day. I don’t believe therapy should feel cold or overly clinical and believe it works best when there’s a real person sitting across from you. Who I am outside of the therapy room shapes how I show up within it.

I moved to Canada from Belfast, Ireland in 2014, and that experience of building a life somewhere new has given me a deeper understanding of change, identity, and what it means to find your footing again. It’s no secret that therapists aren’t immune to life’s challenges, and my own experiences as an athlete, with pregnancy loss and significant life transitions have shaped how I connect with others, allowing me to bring a level of authenticity, understanding, and realness into my work.

Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me running, at the gym, spending time with friends and family or my dog and watching too much reality TV. I love trying new restaurants and coffee shops, and travelling when I can. These are the things that keep me grounded and they’re a big part of how I stay connected to myself, and to the work I do.
