Lauren MertenCounselor, MS, T-LMHC

About

At times, life feels unpredictable, bringing anxiety, transitions & past wounds that shape our journey. I support individuals & families facing these challenges, helping them build resilience, emotional regulation & stronger relationships. Whether healing old scars or navigating change, I provide tools to foster confidence, coping skills & meaningful connections. I believe everyone has the capacity to overcome obstacles, & my role is to guide them toward healing, growth & a fulfilling life, empowering them to move forward with confidence, purpose & the strength to build lasting change. View 5 Photos With 8 years in residential, community, crisis & school settings, I’ve supported children & families in various roles. My approach is client-centered & tailored to individual needs. I’m trained in ACT & EMDR for flexibility & trauma healing. With ages 5 & up, I use Play Therapy, TBRI, CBT & DBT techniques to foster trust & coping skills.
