Deidre Lawrence, LPC-S

With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with diverse populations and remain deeply committed to supporting clients on their wellness journey. I have extensive experience in trauma-focused therapy and incorporate current research, education, brain-based tools, and mindfulness to help reduce symptoms and support lasting healing.

My approach is person-centered and culturally sensitive, integrating Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and existential principles. I strive to help clients build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and move toward greater emotional well-being.

Lauren Frederick, LPC

My goal is to provide high-quality counseling services in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and validated. I believe counseling should be personalized, recognizing each person’s unique experiences and needs while helping clients find greater balance and peace.

My approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I also incorporate Play Therapy when appropriate. I offer both in-person counseling and teletherapy services to support clients in a way that feels accessible and effective.

Candace Cogswell, LPC Associate

I provide counseling services for children and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, and emotional overwhelm. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we work together to identify your goals and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe each person deserves the freedom to choose their own path, and I am here to support you in moving forward with confidence and clarity.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client and draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to help clients build effective coping skills.

Life’s stressors, anxiety, and depression can make it difficult to fully enjoy life. When your usual coping strategies no longer feel effective, therapy can be a meaningful step toward renewal. I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, and PTSD. I have specialized experience supporting neurodiverse adolescents, gifted and talented teens, individuals with ADHD, and caregivers of loved ones with autism or dementia.
My integrative therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered principles. I provide evidence-based care in a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create positive change.
