Mental Health Counseling

Personalized Support for Individuals, Couples, & Families

If this is your first time seeking mental health support, welcome. And, if you’ve been here before, be proud of yourself for continuing to show up. 

I’m so glad you are here.

Seeking professional counseling is giving yourself permission to live the life you want.

  • Free from shame and guilt.

  • Secure in who you are.

  • Healed from where you were.

  • Excited about where you’re going.

Despite how it may feel at this moment, I promise that you have everything you need within you to live a life of joy and well-being. With the right mix of present, joyful guidance, support in maintaining healthy habits, and space to do the deep work, you can break free.

Counseling support can help you:

  • Find your voice and reclaim your power.

  • Communicate your truth clearly and authentically.

  • Replace shame and judgment with strength and compassion.

  • Understand your relationship with drugs, alcohol, or other vices.

  • Create fulfilling relationships and a life you enjoy showing up for.

  • … and so much more!

Hi, I’m Lauren Verbilla.

I’m a licensed professional therapist and wellness guide. 

I’m also a wife, mom, and sister who got sober at a young age. When it comes to navigating difficult life transitions that impact relationships—I get it.

I am a trauma and 12-step informed counselor as well as an LGBTQ+ ally. In my practice, all are welcome here, and whatever obstacles you face, you won’t have to do it alone.

I take great care to make sure my clients feel safe and are guided at their own speed. With more than 15 years as a professional therapist and reflections from my own personal recovery and healing journey, I can provide you with impactful tools and access to your own inner guidance so you feel empowered to face anything that comes your way.

Working with people who want to make a change in their life truly energizes me in a way no other profession has. I would love to get to know you to discuss your goals and how I can provide support.

  • Starting therapy can be vulnerable. Sharing is an incredibly brave thing to do and being nervous is nothing to be ashamed of. It takes courage to start therapy and the fact that you are on this website and reading this right now shows you are brave and seeking help.

    Working with me, I’ll provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to be heard and supported. Everything you share with me is completely confidential, unless. There is an imminent danger to yourself or someone else.

    Whatever is present for you—whatever you are going through—bring that to the session and we can explore that together on your time. It will always be up to you what and when you’re ready to share. Some topics are difficult, overwhelming—or even terrifying—to discuss. And that’s perfectly okay. My job is to give you space to gradually start to work through the tough stuff.

  • Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. I encourage you to set up a free 30-minute consultation for us to get to know one another to see if we’d be a good fit. During our chat, you can ask me anything you’d like to get a feel for working together. You’re also welcome to share what’s going on for you and I can share my ideas around how I can help.

    Every therapist is different, and my approach won’t work for everyone. Think of this call and our first few sessions, should you choose to continue, as testing the waters. What’s most important to me is that you find someone who you feel comfortable with. We can explore that together.

  • I sure do! Scroll up to review my current rates and accepted insurance plans.

  • If you’re interested in starting therapy together, I encourage you to sign-up for a free 30-minute phone consultation. During the call, you can ask me any question you’d like as well as share what’s going on for you so I can share my ideas about how I can help.

    If on our call you decide you’re ready to take the next step, we can book our first session together.

  • You can think of the first session as a free-flowing conversation where we begin to get to know each other. I’ll invite you to share more about yourself and your mental health journey—what’s worked and what hasn’t—what brings you to therapy and where you’d like to go. You are welcome to ask me questions too.

    The most important part of a first session is to notice how you feel during and after the session. If you feel safe, accepted, and comfortable, we can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

  • The total duration of therapy varies from client to client. While some clients find 6-12 weeks to be enough to resolve immediate challenges, other clients feel more supported by long-term therapy. We will work together to find the length of time that works for you.

    Many clients start to feel positive effects within the first three or four sessions and ongoing therapy continues to build self-awareness and confidence.
