Lauren Miceli Counseling is a group practice comprised of eleven therapists. Therapy is an investment in yourself, your relationships, and your future. Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive person has the ability to make you feel better. The therapy process can be healing by providing you a voice for worries or to talk about something that's weighing on your mind. We are committed therapists who can help you get to the root of your problems, overcome emotional challenges, and make positive changes in your life.

People begin to heal when they feel heard. This is the first step on your journey to healing. Have you been surrounded by feelings of anxiety, stress or depression? Have you experienced grief or loss in your life? Have you encountered a traumatic event? You do not have to go through this alone. In my sessions, I strive to create a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you can safely explore these challenges. At first these hurdles seem impossible to overcome, but by working together we can make individualized, achievable goals that will provide the tools for you to conquer these barriers.

My passion is working with mom's (and dad's) who want to provide a happy and healthy upbringing for their children! I help mom's and dad's work through all of the difficult emotions that come with parenting including anxiety, guilt, shame, sadness, frustration and more. I help parent's who are looking to turn inward and do the hard work on themselves, to create the greatest relationship with their child, and childhood for their child, possible. I am currently completing EMDR training and utilizing EMDR interventions in my practice for patients who've experienced physical or emotional trauma, neglect or abuse.

I’m passionate about helping those who are looking to better manage feelings of anxiety, panic, and depression by identifying and addressing negative patterns of thought and behavior.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

We take the greatest pride in ensuring that no individual is left without access to care by always responding to new patient inquiries immediately and accommodating the financial needs of our clients.  The well-being of our clients and the individuals of the communities we serve are our top priority.  No person should have to be without a supportive professional when they find themselves in a situation where reaching out for help is of the utmost importance.

As we go through various life transitions, sometimes we feel burdensome to our friends and family. You may feel like the people you love don’t understand you. You may even feel like a stranger to yourself. I am here to provide you a safe space to process those feelings and help you through this period of change. We can learn who this new you is whether you are a new parent, divorcee, empty nester, dealing with grief or loss of a loved one, dealing with a new diagnosis or illness, working on your relationship or marriage, starting school or a new career, or just getting older and learning to cope.

Life can be both painful and challenging, but that does not mean that you have to go through it alone. Therapy is often a great place to start (or continue) when we are in need of some extra support.

There are many obstacles and challenges in life that individuals face and work on overcoming. I provide a supportive and safe environment, where my client's are free to explore all aspects of self.
