Hi there!
I’m Lauren, and I’m genuinely excited to have you here.
I believe in empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
A bit about me
Lauren Emmolo, M.A., NCC, LPCA, CAIP
Life has a way of weaving together moments of joy and sorrow, and it's these intricate threads that have led me to the path of counseling. With over two decades of advocating for children with special needs, I've seen firsthand the strength that can emerge from challenges.
As a therapist, I've had the honor of accompanying remarkable individuals on their unique journey. On a personal note, I take immense pride in being a mother to three wonderful young men and enjoy sharing my life with a cherished Maltipoo. Additionally, I co-lead DivorceCare sessions at a local church, a ministry dedicated to providing support and healing to individuals after separation or divorce. Through life's twists and turns, I've come to understand the profound impact of both tears and joy.
In this space, I offer you more than just professional guidance. I'm someone who grasps the intricacies of life and brings an empathetic and compassionate perspective. I am a trauma-informed therapist with advanced training in anxiety disorders and specialized instruction in narcissism. In addition, I am educated in providing Christian counseling for clients interested in having their faith and Biblical principles integrated into their therapy. I also provide counseling to individuals with special needs and their families. As you explore further, I hope you’ll see not just a skilled therapist but also a fellow traveler who understands the nuances of life's pathways.
My Approach to Counseling
Life can throw us some curveballs, and each experience is as unique as the individual living it. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, fears, and dreams.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, relationships, or personal growth, I'm here to accompany you on your healing path. My counseling methods are tailored to your specific needs. Holding the titles of National Certified Counselor (NCC), Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA), and Certified Anxiety-Informed Professional (CAIP), I combine evidence-based techniques, empathetic listening, and collaborative goal-setting to craft an approach that aligns with you. I hold an undergraduate degree from The Pennsylvania State University and earned my Master of Arts with distinction in Clinical Mental Health from Liberty University (CACREP).
My formal education, professional development, personal life story, and professional experience have granted me a deep comprehension and respect for the unexpected life events that can disrupt our equilibrium. My dedication lies in empowering you to tap into your inner strength, cultivate resilience, and find hope.
Warmly,
Lauren
