Lauren Petro, LPC, NCC
Founder, Licensed Professional Counselor (she/her)
I have been working in the field of mental health for the past 6 years and recently have been focusing on the treatment of trauma using EMDR. I also commonly work with clients in managing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, life adjustments, and stress management.​I earned my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.
My approach to therapy is based in validation and humor. I place a strong emphasis on building trust and rapport in the therapy room, and I encourage my clients to take ownership of their process. Humor can be a helpful tool in the therapeutic relationship and can alleviate the pressures that can come with therapy. We will work together to establish therapeutic goals and figure out how best to reach them.​I promote relaxation and comfort in my therapy space. I invite clients to kick back and get comfortable on my couch, bring water or a weighted blanket if that helps. If the client wants to color in a coloring book or listen to music during the session, go right ahead! When I work with clients, I want them to feel empowered in session and carry that with them outside of appointments.​
I enjoy being in nature, cycling, running, the arts, and being an advocate for reducing the stigma of mental health accessibility. ​
