Getting to know Lauren Kirk

Hello, I'm Lauren, and I look forward to assisting you in your healing journey! I pride myself on being a very open, nonjudgmental therapist with over 16 years of experience in helping people reach their full potential. I encourage all clients to be their authentic selves in sessions and never feel that they have to hold back anything. I am a Dallas native but now reside in the countryside of Brownwood, TX with my husband, our daughter and our hundreds of animals. I graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, then continued my education by receiving a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from The University of North Texas. I also attended The Institute of Chemical Dependency Studies in Fort Worth, Texas to further specialized education in the areas of addiction. I currently hold licensing as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I began working in the counseling field in 2009 and quickly worked my way up to the Maleagement level. I served as the Director of Maley counseling programs in Dallas, TX before relocating to Brownwood in 2015 and directing treatment services for the adolescent juvenile justice system. I have specialized training in the areas of addiction, childhood trauma, PTSD treatment, anxiety, depression, and working with teenage survivors of sex trafficking. I have treated individuals ranging from toddlers to geriatrics but have the most experience treating adolescents and young adults. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals overcome their setbacks to meet their full potential. I moved into the private sector about eight years ago and it has been an amazing transition. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your path to wellness. Let's take this journey together.
