Hi there! I'm Lauren Sandulli, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. With over 15 years of experience across diverse clinical environments, I've honed my skills in working with a broad spectrum of people and employ an eclectic approach to therapy. My philosophy revolves around meeting clients at their current stage, rather than imposing arbitrary expectations. When meeting new clients, my aim is to alleviate any feelings of overwhelm about their goals, ensuring they feel empowered to progress at their own pace.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including private counseling, inpatient treatment, schools, and family centers. I have successfully partnered with many clients to better their lives by advancing their emotional well-being and by giving them the tools to develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. The goal is to promote self-awareness and self-regard, which lead to the emergence of one's best self.

In this ever-changing time of "do and be more," we face daily life stressors that challenge our mental wellness. These challenges can negatively impact our significant relationships, our children and our work/school performance. To seek the help of a therapist is a very personal decision. It may be one of the most important decisions you make. It may facilitate first steps towards changing and regaining control of your life.

I believe all clients have a choice in their treatment, and should have access to an array of techniques in addressing their individual clinical needs. My approach is eclectic in nature, including client centered therapy, reality therapy, utilizing strength based techniques, while enhancing positive coping strategies to life's challenges. I see the therapeutic relationship as paramount, walking along side individual's as they discover and realize their own potential in overcoming obstacles. Throughout which, I hope to facilitate both inner healing and personal growth.

I focus on helping individuals feel accepted and safe while supporting them in reaching their goals. I strive to help people find satisfaction in all aspects of their lives and to become the best friend, partner, parent, sibling, and SELF that they can be.

Society confronts us all with challenges that are complicated by daily stressors and expectations from family, work and the community. Social media has become an avenue to connect with people, but also opened the doors to connections that complicate the way we see ourselves and how we acquiesce. Although we experience undesirable emotions at times, emotions provide an opportunity to promote change and build resilience. My goal is to assist individuals/families with identifying problems that hinder success and create solutions that promote a positive self perception. It is possible to feel better even though things seem hopeless.

Change in life is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck in the chaos. My passion is helping people learn how to handle life changes successfully. I love seeing people grow and blossom as they overcome the challenges life throws their way. I help my clients thrive by aiding them to identify their patterns and habits that interfere with their growth. I believe my job is to empower you to improve your life.
