Introduction

Hello! I’m Lauren Michaels, a licensed associate professional counselor offering in-person sessions. While much of my experience is with teenagers, I’m passionate about supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Each stage of life brings unique challenges and opportunities for growth, and I am committed to helping clients navigate the complexities of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood with compassion, understanding, and care. My primary goal is to create an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that growth happens when we feel supported and understood, and I work to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and empathy. Using a client-centered approach, I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and peer-related challenges. If you're feeling overwhelmed, facing a tough transition, or unsure where to start, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create practical tools to manage challenges, discover your strengths, and work toward a balanced, fulfilling life. Reaching out is a brave first step, and I’m honored to support you on your journey toward growth and positive change.
