Experience what it feels like to choose yourself and not feel guilty about it.

Counseling & Wellness Support for Individuals, Couples & Families

This work is an investment in your whole self.

Not just how you feel, but how you live.

Hi, I’m Lauren Verbilla.

I’m a licensed professional therapist, intuitive coach, reiki practitioner - and someone who knows firsthand that healing is not a straight line.

I'm also a wife, mom, and sister who got sober at a young age after years of using drugs and alcohol to make life seem more manageable. So, when it comes to navigating the hard stuff — the transitions, the relationships, the moments where you don't recognize yourself anymore — I'm not just a guide. I've been in it.

With more than 16 years of experience, I work with people who are tired of shutting themselves down and pretending everything is fine when it is not, and who are ready to live for themselves. My approach is trauma-informed, 12-step informed, and rooted in the belief that you already have everything you need inside you. This work is just about helping you believe that and begin trusting yourself.

All are welcome here. Whatever you're carrying, whatever you've been through, you won't have to do it alone.

I take this work seriously — and I take you seriously. But that doesn't mean we won't laugh. I say it to my clients all the time: if you're not laughing, what's the point? Laughter is healing too, and a good session can hold both depth and levity. Every person I work with moves at their own pace, and together we figure out what needs earnest attention — and what we can afford to hold a little more lightly.

When you’re ready, I’m here.

Ways to Work With Me:

This isn’t your average therapy practice.

Average people don’t ask the questions you’re asking.

This is where talk meets body, where old patterns meet new awareness, and where nervous system regulation and unlearning self-abandonment are part of the conversation, alongside the occasional moment of genuine laughter.

Together, we get specific: what's driving your patterns, where your relationships keep breaking down, what you've been carrying that was never yours to carry and what it takes to finally put it down. This is how you stop giving a sh*t about the wrong things and start giving everything to the right ones.

Benefits of working together:

  • You’ll experience a safe, judgement-free space that welcomes all of you.

  • You’ll receive tangible, lasting tools that change the way you see yourself so you can build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a sense of self-worth that does not depend on anyone else.

  • You’ll work within a holistic approach that connects the dots between your nervous system, your story, and your patterns — because real change happens when nothing gets left out.

  • You’ll develop focused skills to heal and build relationships, manage emotions, and show up differently in how you interact with others.

What clients are saying:

  • "Lauren is mindful of everyone in the class and there is no shame for being a beginner."
