Lauren Diestelkamp

My communication style

I offer a warm and inviting space and always start the session with a smile on my face. My space and I have been described as walking into a cozy coffee shop or bookstore.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a survivor of abuse and mental health struggles. When I was at my lowest point, I remember saying that if there was anything I could do to help another person who feels this lost and hopeless, I would do it. My purpose is to help others, especially those who feel lost and alone.

My goals for you

I collaborate directly with you about what changes you would like to make or see in your life. It is my job to take those desired changes and distill them into attainable and measurable goals. Goal setting is unique and deeply personal to each client.

Our first session

I always begin my first session with an explanation of confidentiality and practice policies. I want to ensure that you understand your rights and the limits of confidentiality. I like to get a sense of what is bringing you in for therapy while also beginning to get to know you as a person.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Spiritual
