Lauren Larsen, LPC

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m so happy to be part of The Centered Life—a place that truly values connection, growth, and showing up as your authentic self.

My work in counseling has always felt natural to me because I believe in the power of feeling truly heard and supported. As a mom to my son (and to my cats and dog, too!), I understand how important it is to have spaces that feel safe, steady, and nurturing. I’m deeply passionate about creating that kind of environment for others—especially children, teenagers, and young adults—where they can explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

I especially love working with young children who experience big, overwhelming emotions and need help learning how to understand and manage them. I also enjoy supporting teens and young adults navigating life transitions, perfectionism, anxiety, and women’s wellness concerns. These seasons of life can feel heavy or confusing, and you don’t have to move through them alone. Together, we will build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create practical tools that help you feel more confident and grounded in your daily life. My hope is that you leave sessions not only feeling supported, but also empowered to take meaningful steps forward.

My approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, meaning you are always at the heart of our work. I also bring in aspects of who I am as a person—empathetic, understanding, and occasionally offering a bit of humor when it feels right. Therapy can be both a place of comfort and a space for growth, and I strive to balance both with care and intention.

Outside of work, I cherish making memories with my family and friends. You’ll often find me on a long walk with my son and our golden retriever, soaking up the little moments that make life meaningful. Helping clients find more of those meaningful moments in their own lives is truly what inspires me.
