Lauren Mayberry, MS, LPC
“You don’t have to arrive knowing what to say.”
Bio
Welcome! I’m truly glad you’re here. Some things are hard to say out loud. That's where we can start- building, creating or engaging in visual imagery that can open the door to healing. If you find yourself feeling numb, shut down, overwhelmed, anxious, or frequently saying “I don’t know” when someone asks what’s wrong, you may not be avoiding the question. You may simply not have the words yet. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colleyville specializing in expressive arts, Sandtray Therapy, and trauma-informed work with children, preteens, teens and adults.
My journey into the world of mental health began at the University of North Texas where I received both my Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in Human development and Family Science, and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. While my passion for understanding the complexities of the human mind and desire to help others were my driving force, I felt a strong will to continue to nurture my lifelong passion for music as well which guided me to minor in Music.
This unique combination ignited my passion for Expressive Arts therapy, an approach that encourages individuals to communicate, reflect and in turn heal through various artistic mediums. Whether it be through painting, music, or Sandtray therapy (yes sand, please ask me more about this!), I am passionate about helping individuals tap into their creativity while also providing a nonjudgmental, genuine and accepting environment that empowers connection to self and others in ways that are profound and meaningful to each individual.
I understand that life can be messy and complex and full of twists and turns, and I believe that there is beauty in connection and strength in vulnerability. Together, we can explore what living in congruence looks and feels like for you.

Lauren’s quote
