Getting to know Lauren Novak

I've been there. I have been in that moment when things have become so unmanageable, frightening, and painful that I sought help from a complete stranger. Like you, I found the courage to find this page. I have been through my own process of healing and continue to journey towards positive, healthy change. I am a licensed professional with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman's University and a Bachelor's degree from Baylor University, trained to guide others through their own unique process of healing. I offer an authentic relationship and provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can be heard, validated, and supported. I offer warmth, insight, and skills training that will assist you in meeting your needs and goals for change. As we work together, you can expect to gain new perspective, skills, and greater understanding and insight-all catalysts to the change you're hoping to experience. Change and growth can be difficult, but you can be empowered to move forward, heal, and begin living a life you fully enjoy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that each person has the resources they need to heal and achieve their goals. My job is to help you tap into those resources by discovering the causes of your struggles; identifying the barriers to change; and empowering you to move forward with a new perspective and skill set. Through a collaborative process, we will develop an action plan to get you where you want to be. In working with me, you can expect empathy, compassion and feedback that will foster an enhanced understanding of yourself and your abilities that will positively impact and ultimately change your life.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
