Lauren Craig, PhD serves the Athletics Department as the Assistant Director of Counseling and Sport Psychology Services.
"I feel privileged with the opportunity to work with the Texas A&M Athletics Department and to provide care and support for student-athletes throughout their athletic and academic journey in Aggieland," Craig said.
The transition to college is often both a rewarding and challenging time, and I honor and welcome the growth and change that occurs during "these years. I also acknowledge the unique expectations and experiences that come with being a collegiate athlete while striving to pursue academic, career, and personal growth. In my work, I strive to build a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship while creating space for you to explore your experiences on & off the field and collaborate with you in identifying goals and working toward improvement in all areas of your life. I often approach my work through an interpersonal lens, and view individuals as continuously growing, discovering and strengthening the various components of their identities that make them who they are. I also embrace all aspects of diversity and work to provide a space where you feel that your voice is heard, honored and respected."
