Hello, my name is Lauren. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT) in Kentucky. I also am nationally board certified in Art Therapy (ATR-BC). I have spent the past few years working for a non-profit community mental health organization providing therapy for people and families in need. My approach to therapy is very person-centered and adaptable. I am a professional therapist, but you are the expert when it comes to your own life, and it is important that therapy be tailored based on each client's goals and needs in order to be as effective as possible. I am interested in helping people in a way that utilizes their unique strengths rather than focusing only on a diagnosis. The goal is to achieve a positive, healthy state, which does include overcoming difficulties, but is more than that. I am also able to provide art therapy for those who are interested. Art therapy can be useful in cases where it is difficult to express something, or for figuring out how one feels about something. Additionally, the act of making art can be enjoyable and therapeutic in itself. I believe that mental health is just one more part of overall health, and that seeking mental health care should be regarded as similar to receiving any other kind of health care. Every person experiences times when extra help would be valuable, but not everyone seeks out that help. If you are considering therapy, even if you are hesitant, I encourage you to get in touch so that I can help you move in the direction of overall wellness.

7 years offering treatment
Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 7 years of experience. I graduated from Lindsay Wilson College in Kentucky with a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. My professional experience includes working at a Community Mental Health Center and the Veterans Health Administration. I believe that treatment should be guided by the client using a person centered approach to evidence based treatment. I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders and insomnia. I can be eclectic in my approach but I am most inclined to use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Solution Focused Therapy to treat depression or anxiety and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia to treat sleep issues. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can help you learn to manage your emotions. I believe that therapy should be focused with goals that assist in measuring progress and have a limited number of sessions. I can do live sessions in the evening and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I will always respond to messages within 12 hours (likely sooner.) I look forward to working with you! I can’t wait to meet you!

4 years offering treatment
I am a licensed professional counselor in Kentucky with 4 years of professional work experience. I graduated from University of the Cumberlands. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy related issues, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I primarily utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and person centered approaches in therapy, although I occasionally pull from other modalities when it is best suited for my client. While this may be confusing to you, what it means is I have a lot of different approaches that I use depending on what we are working on together. My availability on BetterHelp is very limited. Currently, my availability is only on Sunday afternoons. I do not have any other times available, so if Sundays do not work for you then I can help you get scheduled with another therapist. Due to limited availability, I ask that you give 24 hours notice if you need to cancel an appointment. This allows time for other clients to take that time if needed. All no shows/late cancellations (less than 24 hours notice) will be reported to BetterHelp. No showing 2 appointments within a 6 month period will result in being referred for in person counseling or to another BetterHelp therapist. Late canceling and/or no showing 2 appointments within a 60 day period may result in being referred out, as well. While I understand that things come up, I do ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations. If you stop treatment/have a lapse in payment that causes you to become “inactive,” I may not have availability to see you if you return. I keep a small number of active clients and due to limited time I cannot hold places on my caseload for inactive clients. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to walk beside you and be your partner in this journey.
