Where education meets mental health.
The SEL Studio was founded by a former teacher and school counselor who spent years inside K-12 schools and left to bridge the gap between what's happening in classrooms and what the world outside them is building.
We partner with EdTech companies, mental health startups, school districts, and beyond to bring real, on-the-ground SEL and youth mental health expertise to the work that matters most.

Hi, I'm Lauren.
I'm a former teacher and school counselor turned freelancer, and I started The SEL Studio because I saw a gap in companies solving real problems for students, but a lack of on-the-ground knowledge in SEL and mental health in schools. I left the classroom in January 2026 to work directly at that intersection, bringing SEL expertise to the companies, districts, and creators who are trying to make a difference.
