Former Department of Veterans Affairs Psychotherapist; Military PTSD Expert & Mental Health Advocate

Military and law enforcement professionals experience unthinkable atrocities on a daily basis. This repeated trauma has a compounding effect that often results in awful sleep patterns, injured relationships, faltering job performance, substance abuse, volatile anger, and suicide. If you’re one of these everyday heroes who faces emotional barriers, Lauren Rich, LCSW will equip you with the tools to take back control so that you can kick trauma’s ass, find peace, and recapture the joy of living. The spouse of a combat veteran, Rich has experienced firsthand the challenges that are faced when a warrior returns home from a battlefield.

As a former Department of Veterans Affairs Psychotherapist, Rich has been assisting military and law enforcement professionals as they work through their internal anguish. With her help, they develop a personal ops plan that puts them on a path to living in calmness and peace. A nationally recognized speaker and consultant, Rich is proud to have collaborated with the U.S. Air Force and Army, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
