I’m on this journey of being human too. I understand what it’s like to search for wholeness and healing. Along this journey I have learned that healing is possible. And within all of us is the capacity to find wholeness. What I have to offer is a collaborative relationship, with training that allows me to be a guide as we navigate together through the many lenses of your experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1599597023835-RPZVL51P2M7FQ3HCR17C/pexels-hamid-tajik-4873819.jpg Home - What to expect in therapy… One voice in my head says, “just do it, go for it, you’ll never have another chance!” Immediately, another voice, “what makes you think you can do that? Better to not try than to fail.” Then another chimes in, “If you succeed, it would just be luck. If you fail, then everyone will find out….they’ll know you’re an imposter. Too risky!” Many of us can relate to this inner chaos. It happens daily over the small choices—should I go for that run, what should I write in that work email—and the big—do I want to stay in this relationship, should I switch careers? How do we know which voice to listen to? Or why do we sometimes find ourselves frustrated with, ashamed of, or confused by the way we handled something in a given moment? We will work together to help you to understand these internal conflicts, dial down the volume of the conflicts inside, and to be able to understand the important roles that all aspects of you play in how you respond both internally and externally to life events and stressors. All parts are welcome. Instead of turning away, we turn towards all of ourselves. This is where we find the wholeness all of us innately have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1599596233172-YB5RBND7RYFKS0UPYMI0/pexels-josh-hild-2422483.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1600744917373-SK2F4DNYECFWIAS2BS0U/pexels-elina-sazonova-3099645.jpg Home What I have to offer is a real, human relationship, with training that allows me to be a guide as we navigate together through the many lens's of your experience. https://www.laurenjarosz.com/services daily 0.75 2022-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1601843371591-71OSRS79RUXNTYQPVNZW/pexels-rrinna-2071548.jpg Services - How does therapy with me work? Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do? Have you ever said or done something and been confused by your response later? Our reactions are something we learn over time out of necessity and adaptation. At some point in your life you learned it was useful to engage with your environment using a variety of strategies to help you feel loved, accepted, and valued and to protect you from feeling unlovable, not good enough, and alone. The challenge is that most strategies we engage, particularly strategies we use to keep ourselves emotionally safe, also have unintended negative consequences. These consequences create both internal and external distress. This kind of internal conflict can lead us to hate parts of ourselves, to feel ashamed, unworthy and never enough. We feel stuck, hopeless and misunderstood when strategies that were once useful and adaptive no longer function the way they once did. https://www.laurenjarosz.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1600775833911-GTNYN3OT048W2RTPNZRB/roihan-haidar--ETkB8wZf5o-unsplash.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1601662387929-9NTCW3ANB4C2FVUWXNMV/roozbeh-badizadegan-p46Orndw0QM-unsplash.jpg Contact https://www.laurenjarosz.com/about daily 0.75 2022-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1602196122873-1MNCDQ2EEZG3K8Q4NQ26/Modern-Bozeman-Counselor_06.jpg About - A little of my own story… I grew up on a farm of sorts outside Whitefish, MT. The mountains have always felt like home to me, which explains why I’ve spent most of my life exploring them in one way or another—on horseback, skis, bikes, and my own two feet. It took a lot of different jobs—barista, horse trainer, office manager, special education teacher, to name only a few—for me to figure out this was the one I really wanted to do. I had a lot of ideas about what I should be and what it meant to be successful, and I had to fail a lot of times, get burned out, and go to grad school twice to end up here. What it really comes down to for me is: people matter. Pursuits and achievements cannot provide the same kind of fulfillment as relationships. Both with ourselves and with other people. I am on my own journey of learning and growing, and I view it as the utmost privilege to be able to be part of other people’s journeys toward healing and becoming more fully themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57ca921f028d3d4da0e456/1600770321383-VWGZXZ0EAQJ9X4F3FM1Z/racim-amr-SLZjXWz8YFo-unsplash.jpg About - We are all, only human… Many people walk through my door looking for the magical formula to be whole, to be fixed, to be enough. Whether struggling with anger, hopelessness, feeling broken beyond repair, or desperate to be fixed, you are welcome here. No one ever fixed me. But what therapy did do was guide me and empower me to find wholeness and healing within myself. And so can you.
