Lauren Burkhalter, M.A., LPC-Associate Supervised by Andrea Schultz M. ED., LPC-S, RPT-S
As a counselor, my passion is helping children, teens, young adults, and adults feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you’re a child navigating big emotions, a teen managing friendships and school stress, a young adult figuring out life’s next steps, or an adult balancing life’s many responsibilities—I’m here to support you with warmth, kindness, and a little bit of humor along the way!
I believe therapy should feel comfortable, like talking to someone who truly cares. My approach is warm, encouraging, and completely tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to cope—so you can thrive, not just survive. I’m truly honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
