Empowering you to Thrive

Providing compassionate, inclusive counseling for individuals and families, with a commitment to social justice and personal growth

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.

Specialties

Race/Identity Issues/Racial Trauma

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.

Life Transitions

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.

Sometimes healing looks like conversation.
Sometimes it looks like a warm dog curled up beside you on the couch 🤍

Her clinical approach?

Egan Empowered Counseling turns TWO today 🥹✨

What started as a dream is now two years of supporting kids, teens, young adults, and families through healing, growth, hard moments, and big life transitions 🤍

So hi 👋🏽 I’m Laeren. A therapist, full-time elementary school counselor, and owner of Egan Empowered Counseling.

My therapy style is warm, honest, direct, and deeply relational. I’m EMDR-trained and specialize in trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, identity work, and life transitions. I’m also proudly LGBTQ+ affirming 🌈 and neurodivergent affirming✨

A few fun updates from year two:
🐾 Adopted Guinness + got her certified as a therapy dog
🎓 Wrapping up my 7th year as a school counselor
🏔️ Still loving life in Colorado after moving from Milwaukee, WI

Outside of therapy, I’m usually traveling, at a concert, watching sports, hanging with my husband, dogs + girl gang, or trying to convince myself I like camping 🫣

Thank you for supporting this little dream of mine for the last two years. Truly so grateful to be here 🥹💛
