It's important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, challenge you, and consider the impact of culture and identity

I offer a range of specialty services that generally fall outside the typical categories and tend to use a “whole person” approach to treatment and stabilization, though over the last 10+ years of intensive couple’s and individual work I’ve treated almost everything and welcome all issues large or small, no matter the complexity. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as well as Spiritual Emergence Coaching and meditation training for issues where mental health and spirituality meet. Lastly, I offer specialty testing to precisely identify problems and diagnoses, then use these to best determine what treatment will be most helpful.

My philosophy of counseling is based on the belief that you possess the power to change, and that my role is to help you become aware of how to understand and utilize that power. My goal is to first listen and fully understand your need(s). After that, I will work side by side with you to develop the insights, tools and skills necessary for you to achieve the goals and changes you are seeking to make.

Hello and welcome! Healing is a journey and we all need someone to witness that journey, to walk alongside us as we face the things in our lives that have been deeply painful. We all need someone to care deeply, affirm and validate our experiences, and help us discover what is holding us back from experiencing the change and life we long for. Therapy can be that space for you, to come as you are and experience acceptance, love, hope, and truly being heard. It can be a place where you can grow in awareness and understanding of where you have been, as well as all that you were created to be.

Making the initial phone call to seek counseling can be one of the most difficult things to do. I have worked with many clients who initially avoid counseling because of fear, shame, or anxiety around sharing their experience. My hope is to be a safe place to process the ups and downs of life. If you are unsure, be encouraged that you have already taken the first courageous step by looking. By taking the next step, you will find that there is hope on the other side.

I understand that starting therapy can be a scary process. I work to create an open and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through my door. It is important to feel like you have a "good fit" with your therapist, which is why I take the time to listen to what brings you in, hear your personal goals and explain what you can expect from therapy. It's not my job to judge, blame, or take sides. I will work with you to provide applicable tools and resources, identify your personal strengths and offer new ways of communicating to provide relief.

My motto in life has been, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference." (St. Frances of Assisi). Due to the current circumstances, I do offer counseling sessions for 50 minutes on Zoom. Whether you are trying to find peace within and with others or you are needing encouragement to deal with life's stressors, I will work alongside with you. With God in our midst, I will help you go through this season of your life providing all the support needed to get you through the issues that are depriving you of the joy of living.

I want therapy to feel like an outlet for you and a space for you to grow. It is going to be work but should never feel like a burden. If you feel like you have lost yourself, or you have always been lost, we will work together to find the best version of you. This is your time to shine! We will focus on your strengths and look at what is working. The parts of your life that are not serving you we can explore and find solutions. We will take it a step at a time, no rush.

Often times life throws things at us that are just too difficult to overcome on our own. It's my passion to walk alongside you to listen to your life story without judgment, assist in identifying your personal strengths, offer new perspectives, and collaborate to help you discover healthy changes leading to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The way we think about things can often lead us astray and into a state of anxiety. We will bring attention to and change the thought processes, beliefs, and automatic thoughts that often cause much distress and anxiety. Together, we will identify solutions that work for you.

Lauren Wittstruck believes in providing an encouraging and empowering space to process through life’s challenges and changes. She balances truth and humor in her approach to counseling and believes that you have the ability to hit life’s curve balls out of the park.

Have you ever thought to yourself - "I freeze every time I have to perform". "My nerves always get the best of me". "I need someone to talk to, but I don't want to burden anyone". "I feel sad but I'm not sure why". "I'll never be good enough". Do you relate to any of these statements? You are worthy of a better life and together we can get there.
