Lauri goes above and beyond to provide the best care to her clients. I’ve had the pleasure of learning evidence based practices in a year long program of Infant, early childhood and family mental health. Lauri’s dedication to her work keeps her seeking and applying innovative ways to connect to her clients. Lauri’s attention to details makes her approach to complex situations, unique, inviting(her work space is so cool), safe and calming!

Kristen Holmes is a wonderful counselor who connected with our child in a deep and thoughtful way. I appreciate how she used games to engage our child and created metacognition on goals, relationships, and strategies when things weren't going our child's way. She also worked seamlessly with our school to create the best learning environment and support for our child. Working with Kristen has better equipped our child to work through relationships with peers and adults and challenging situations at school and in life.
Thanks a lot for sharing your heartfelt experience with Kristen! We're so happy to know she connected well with your child and supported their growth both at school and in life. It's wonderful to hear how her approach with games and collaboration has made a difference. If you need anything else, we're always here for you!
