Lauren Roberts

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kansas State University and my Master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Missouri- Kansas City. My interests include helping individuals cope with anxiety and depression, life transitions and adjustments, interpersonal relationship issues, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. I particularly enjoy working with young adults.

I enjoy using a strengths-based approach as a starting point and many of my sessions are based in mindfulness and other holistic wellness techniques. I believe in whole-person health, which to me includes physical and spiritual health in addition to emotional and mental health. I draw from a multitude of traditional techniques as well including CBT, Attachment Theory, and Shame Resilience Theory.

As a therapist, I love hearing others’ stories and understanding what makes an individual who they are. After hearing an overview of the client's history I like to help my clients establish goals and gain skills that contribute to their overall growth and allow them to gain meaningful knowledge about themselves and their experience in the world.
