Empowering you to Thrive

Laeren Egan, LPCC
At the heart of my counseling philosophy is a profound commitment to empathy and empowerment. I believe everyone deserves to be authentically heard, understood, and supported within a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel valued and empowered to explore and heal their past and present wounds, fostering genuine growth and transformation.
By fostering an environment of trust and respect, I strive to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives, build resilience, and drive meaningful change in their lives. As an advocate for social justice and progressive change 🌈🏳️⚧️, I am dedicated to compassionate, inclusive, and culturally competent care to all clients, especially those from of marginalized communities, ensuring they receive the support and validation needed to thrive.

If you’re grappling with race and identity issues, I’m here to support you. With my extensive experience and deep understanding, I offer guidance to navigate these challenges.

Whether it’s transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, starting a new school, or navigating significant life changes, I offer deep experience in guiding clients through these pivotal moments with empathy, practical support, and transformative strategies.
Attachment Work
I specialize in supporting children and their families with attachment-related issues, focusing on fostering secure, healthy relationships that form the foundation for emotional resilience and well-being.
Trauma Therapy
I am passionate about helping clients of all ages—children, teens, and adults—navigate and heal from traumatic experiences. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy empowers me to offer an evidence-based, effective approach for processing trauma and reducing its impact on daily life, fostering lasting resilience and emotional growth.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be a debilitating condition impacting every aspect of life. I work with clients to develop proactive coping strategies, manage symptoms, and build resilience. My approach empowers individuals to regain control, enhance their well-being, and improve their overall quality of life through personalized, evidence-based techniques.
EMDR Trained
I help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories using advanced techniques. This involves guiding clients through a series of bilateral eye movements or rhythmic stimulation while recalling distressing experiences. This evidence-based process is designed to reframe and integrate these memories, reducing their emotional charge and enhancing psychological resilience.
You're my ideal client if.....
You’re my ideal client if you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, life transitions, school stress, or race and identity challenges. With my extensive school counseling background, I offer a deep understanding of the educational landscape to support you effectively. Committed to advocating for marginalized communities and addressing systemic inequalities, I aim to guide your personal growth, build resilience, and help you overcome challenges. As an antiracist and progressive counselor, I provide compassionate, culturally competent support tailored to your unique journey. With me, you’ll benefit from a compassionate, validating approach tailored to your needs. I use EMDR for trauma processing, CBT to address anxiety and behavior changes, and attachment-focused techniques to strengthen relationships. By honoring your experiences, I create a safe, supportive space for transformative healing and growth.

“But if I talk about it… won’t it make things worse?”
I hear this fear all the time — and it’s valid. When you’ve spent years avoiding pain just to survive, the idea of facing it can feel overwhelming.
But let’s be clear:
🚫 Talking about trauma doesn’t make it worse.
💭 What actually keeps us stuck is avoiding it — pushing it down, pretending it didn’t matter, carrying it alone.
🧠 Our nervous systems remember what our minds try to forget.
Unprocessed trauma can show up as anxiety, irritability, perfectionism, numbness, people-pleasing, or a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Talking about it — in a safe, supportive, regulated space — isn’t about reliving the pain. It’s about reclaiming your story, integrating what happened, and letting your body finally breathe.
🫶 Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means what happened no longer controls you.
And that freedom? You deserve it.
You are not weak. You are not broken.
🌱 You’re being human.
💪🏾You’re being brave.
You’re doing work that generations before you never got to do.
There is no shame in your story — only strength in your healing. 🕊️

Why did I become a therapist?????
Because the world doesn’t need more silence 🤐, shame 😶, or “just get over it” energy 🙄.
Also? I’ve seen what happens when people don’t heal… and yikes 😬.
These 4 reasons are my “hell yes” 🙌 to holding space 🛋️, breaking cycles 🔁, and proving the doubters wrong 💥.
It’s all right here. See what pushed me into the therapy chair—on this side of it 😉
