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.

Therapy isn’t always sitting across from each other talking…
Today a client and I made magic wands. ✨
Through play and creativity we practiced shifting our mindset when the pattern didn’t turn out the way we hoped, using flexible thinking to put together combinations we weren’t sure would work, and tackling the task of cleaning up what felt like a million beads by sorting them back into their containers.
We also practiced something just as important: ASKING FOR HELP.
Sometimes the most meaningful work in therapy happens in moments that look a lot like play.
Play creates space for some of the most powerful learning in therapy.

This little girl had no idea that one day she’d be the face behind Egan Empowered Counseling.
Now I get to hold space for people’s stories, witness their healing, and remind them they deserve softness, boundaries, and a life that feels good to live.
I don’t take that responsibility lightly. 🤍

In April, clients will be greeted by four paws, tail wags, and a whole lot of unconditional support 🐾
Guinness is joining the office as a therapy dog, and I already know she’s going to help create moments of safety, regulation, and connection in ways words sometimes can’t.
Healing doesn’t always happen through talking, sometimes it happens through being gently reminded that you’re not alone.
