Therapeutic Approach

Speech-Language Pathologist | Holistic Wellness Advocate | Nonprofit Founder

Lauren Foster, MS, CCC-SLP, CNHP, is a nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Natural Health Professional with over 30 years of experience in pediatric therapy and integrative wellness. She currently serves as the Director of Perspectives Center for Holistic Therapy, where she leads a multidisciplinary team providing whole-child, neurodiversity-affirming care to children and families.

Passionate about bridging the gap between need and access, Lauren founded The Powerful Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to expanding mental health support for individuals and families who are often underserved or caught in the middle.

In addition, Lauren is the Director of Speech Pathology at Super S.T.A.R.S., where she mentors clinicians in collaborative, trauma-informed therapy practices. Her clinical expertise spans early intervention, autism, ADHD, sensory integration, feeding challenges, and medically complex care.

Known for her integrative approach, Lauren combines evidence-based therapy with holistic modalities including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Reiki, somatic tools, and nutrition to help children regulate, connect, and communicate—supporting development from the inside out.

She also co-leads The Connected Family Community, providing coaching, education, and compassionate support to caregivers of neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults.

Lauren is the co-developer of the Personal Power Tools curriculum, a strengths-based program focused on social navigation and self-regulation. It is currently used in schools, camps, and private practice settings.

At the heart of Lauren’s work is a simple but powerful mission: to build systems of support that honor each person’s unique strengths, needs, and story.
