I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with over 20 years experience providing counseling across a variety of professional settings with a diverse clientele. A well-practiced and experienced professional, I am comfortable assisting with a broad spectrum of clinical issues. Areas I am exceptionally well-versed in include: development and adjustment issues over the lifespan, career challenges and unexpected life changes, developing a stable and positive sense of identity and self-esteem, and finding a deeper meaning and sense of purpose in one’s life struggles. Key issues include anxiety, depression, parenting issues, ADHD, ODD, developmental issues and/or special needs, supporting adults with autism, PTSD, sexual abuse or trauma issues, and helping adults recover from a traumatic or life-altering event such as a brain injury. As the parent of child with autism, there is a special place in my heart for supporting individuals on the autism spectrum, their caregivers and their loved ones. I am adept in helping individuals develop skills in a variety of areas including setting and achieving life-changing goals, bettering themselves in key life areas such as relationship skills, parenting skills and support, time management and organizational skills, problem-solving skills, conflict resolution skills, executive functioning, and developing a daily routine that reflects their individual goals for their life. My counseling style is warm, empowering, and collaborative. My approach combines humanistic and cognitive therapies and employs motivational interviewing and reality therapy to help you develop a clear vision of the life you want for yourself, determine the steps necessary to achieve that life, and provides coaching as you work towards achieving your goals. I look forward to joining alongside you on your life journey.

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.

ABOUT ME Hello, I have been working with clients, and families, for the past 20 years. My experience includes dealing with a variety of concerns that impact their lives. I believe that who we are and what we are have been, to some degree, influenced by others which is sometimes out of our control. Who we are, our identity, can sometimes get lost and we just need a listening ear to get us back on the right path. My focus in counseling will always be that we have choices in the path we take in our lives, which empowers us to regain control of our lives: regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in while on this journey called life. A friend of mine said to me during one of our conversations, “the time you wake up in the morning is your morning, but you need to wake up.” This is your morning because you have reached out and I am glad that you did. I look forward to working with you

I like to take a collaborative and person-centered approach to therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I take the time to get to know and understand each of my clients before diving deeper into the work of therapy. I operate with the belief that everyone is always doing the best they can in the moment they are in. Our work together will help you to develop the skills you need to help you through whatever you're going through. No matter what life has thrown at you, you're stronger than you realize and we will use that strength to help you be the best version of you. I use a behavioral based approach to help people understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their actions. What I love most about providing therapy is having the opportunity to help people discover inner strength that they've always had and maybe didn't know was there. I believe that all people are capable of becoming who they want to be. When you're ready, I'll be there with you, ready to help you reach your limitless potential.

35 years offering treatment
Licensed in Pennsylvania, I have over 35 years experience in collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of issues. While my primary training and experience has been in solution-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, my approach to counseling is individualized, person-centered, and trauma-informed, depending on the needs of each person. I strive to create an accepting, supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere. I have worked extensively with those experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, challenges around life transitions, grief, alcohol issues, and self-harming behaviors. While I take my work very seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously. Although I generally provide counseling in English, having grown up in a bilingual English-Spanish household, I do speak serviceable Spanish. When not working, I enjoy being in nature, gardening, reading, and volunteering in my community around social justice issues.
