Lauren Polcyn

Lauren Polcyn, an experienced counselor (LCPC), takes great pride in establishing a strong rapport with each of her clients. She connects with individuals in an easy-going yet energetic manner, guiding them through their challenges. Many clients arrive feeling dysregulated and stuck, and through her sessions, they work toward achieving their goals and embracing their authentic selves. With an extensive background in counseling that includes behavioral issues, parenting challenges, adoption concerns, adjustment and change issues, mood disorders, and navigating past trauma and peer relationship struggles, Lauren utilizes a variety of therapeutic techniques. Her journey started with families involved with DCFS and adoptions, and she now offers her expertise at a private agency, working with a diverse range of clients. By incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into her sessions, she helps clients remain present and utilize concrete strategies to progress toward their aspirations. The path to growth may begin with a tough step, but with Lauren's support, clients will find guidance every step of the way.
