Lauren Foster, ALC, LPCC, LPCA, PLPC, NCC, ERYT

Lauren started with Alsana in September of 2023 after graduating from UAB’s counseling program. Prior to working with clients with eating disorders, Lauren held a position as a therapeutic intern at a residential addiction facility in Birmingham for almost 2 years.

Lauren’s goal has always been to work with clients with eating disorders, as she herself is in recovery from one, and helping clients identify motivation and find their reasons to recover is the ultimate pay-it forward act. Lauren also holds a 200 hour certification in yoga and has over 5000 hours of teaching experience. You can often find themes of body-connection and breath work incorporated into her compassion-focused therapeutic approach.

In her spare time, Lauren enjoys giggling with her daughter, tending to her many house plants, playing with her 3 dogs, and being outside.
