Philosophy and techniques
I believe a client's self-awareness is key to developing self-direction and independence. My practice is primarily guided by person-centered therapy. This approach will provide you with methods to solve problems, utilizing your own strengths and respecting who you are as an individual. I will always try to understand your point of view, listening from a nonjudgmental and caring place. I will work to understand your experiences and help define your goals. I take a warm, collaborative, and direct approach toward helping you uncover inner strengths, skills, and focus on your desire to overcome life’s biggest challenges. Occasionally, I may use other approaches to help facilitate your progress in sessions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and/or worksheets and activities.
Let's Meet!
Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) supervised by Dr. Lauren McLean, LPC-S.
As a therapist, I hope to facilitate for my client’s greater self-awareness through their life experiences that lead to increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, overall health, and the capacity to effectively navigate the complex challenges of life. I love working with people who are truly ready to dig in and explore who they are; those ready to put in the work necessary to make lasting changes in their life. I have experience working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, substance abuse, relationship problems, divorce and separation, low self-esteem, stress management, and trauma recovery, among others. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 children, traveling, being outdoors, riding my bike, yoga, music, reading, and listening to podcasts.
Services Provided
I provide fully virtual counseling services via telehealth for client's convenience and accessibility. Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes in length at a rate of $100.
