Laurel Gowen

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHCA) I provide a caring and non-judgemental approach in my counseling services. Therapy can be a big step and I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment. Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Do you feel ready for a change but keep finding yourself repeating old behaviors and patterns? My counseling approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused therapy. With expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-centered, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I offer a comprehensive approach to mental wellness. Through collaborative sessions, I will assist clients in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, cultivating mindfulness and emotion regulation, and setting achievable goals to create positive change in their lives. My goal is to empower clients with tools and strategies to navigate challenges, manage emotions, and build a fulfilling life. I have a passion working with children, teens and adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/family concerns, and stress. I look forward to giving you the opportunity to share your story, goals, and expectations in therapy. Once we begin working together, we will establish goals together and work towards achieving those goals.
