Lauren McCoy
Hello and welcome to Better Help! My name is Lauren and I am really looking forward to getting to know you and working together. As a licensed professional counselor, I strive to help my clients reach their individual goals in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, in which we partner together to focus on inner healing, explore identity, and develop coping skills to manage life’s stressors effectively. I would describe my style as warm, open, and empowering, and I consider establishing rapport and building trust as the foundation for my therapeutic relationships. I have a master's degree from Duquesne University, currently reside in the Pittsburgh area, and am licensed to practice counseling in the state of Pennsylvania. My experience over the last seven years includes working as a therapeutic staff support for autistic children, a school counselor in a wide variety of alternative school settings, and an outpatient therapist at a clinic working with children, adolescents, and adults. I currently work with individuals of all ages to help them navigate a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, daily stress, and difficult life transitions. Using a mind-body integrative approach, I tailor a program that is specific to each client's unique needs, with a focus on exploring the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. I truly consider it a great honor and privilege that my clients trust me to be a part of their journey toward a more balanced and fulfilled life. You are the guide, and it is my role to empower you to reach your goals so that you can not only survive life’s challenges, but learn to thrive as you enter the next phase of your life. I cannot wait to talk with you more as we move forward, and I am happy to answer any of your questions or concerns at any time. Take care and talk to you soon!

Do you feel lost on your path? Our life's journey is not always as clear as we would like it to be. We find ourselves in doubt and unsure - sometimes about work or family life or our romantic relationships. You realize that life seems off balance and wonder how to fix things.As we hurry through life fulfilling multiple roles, we can lose touch with our authentic Self and symptoms of depression may appear. Valleys are a natural part of everyone's life but you do not need to suffer through these alone. As you reach out for help you will come to realize that it is during these time exactly, when we grow the most - find your balance, and find your path. I will be here for you, to listen and give you the safe space to figure things out.
