North Shore Collaborative Solutions

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.

By delving into emotional well-being, fostering self - awareness, and cultivating resilience, my coaching empowers clients to navigate challenges with greater ease. Through personalized strategies, supportive guidance, and a nurturing environment, individuals experience a renewed sense of confidence, inner peace, and a revitalized outlook on life. Together, we embark on a journey that fosters growth, clarity, and an enduring sense of well-being.
