Lauren Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
“I should have known better” “I’m never good enough.” “What’s wrong with me?”
Does this sound like you? People who experience anxiety and depression can have negative self-talk and overly high expectations of self that can impact quality of life. Therapy is a welcoming environment to work on identify these messages and build the ability to separate the thought from the belief as well as challenging the stories we tell ourselves. Once you are able to see that the core beliefs you feel are inaccurate, you are more equipped to rewrite the narrative you have been carrying for many years.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Let’s be honest: if reading self-help books, taking deep breaths, or telling yourself "it is what it is" was going to fix things, you’d be cured by now.
I offer evidence-based mental health care with zero fluff, zero clinical gaslighting, and absolutely no nod-and-smile clichés. I combine serious expertise with a very necessary sense of humor because working on your mental health is hard enough—it shouldn't feel like a punishment.
My job isn’t to stare at you silently and ask "how does that make you feel?" endlessly. My job is to listen, call out the chaotic brain loops keeping you stuck, and give you actual, concrete tools to navigate real life. I bring the clinical framework; you bring your actual self, minus the pressure to pretend you have everything under control.
Healing takes work, but it doesn't have to be miserable. We'll tackle the heavy, complicated stuff head-on, but we’ll also laugh when life is absurd.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.
