Welcome! My name is Felipe Lau, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Montclair State University with a concentration in Community Counseling. I am a bilingual therapist and can conduct therapy sessions in English and Spanish. I have 16 years of experience as a mental health professional with the opportunity to work with various ages and backgrounds in different clinical settings. I have experience providing individual therapy and use a person-centered approach. I utilize concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-based therapy, and Supportive counseling.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will get to know your background and together, we will identify your challenges and goals, for example where you want your life to be a month, six months, or even a year from now. Then, we will identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of your challenges and some practical steps to start improving how you feel. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in building a trusting relationship that leads to the empowerment of my clients. In our work together, my priority is for you to feel safe in being yourself and expressing your experiences. I have been described by my clients as having a disarming quality and my clients typically are able to get to know me and feel comfortable discussing their lives rather quickly. I am passionate about normalizing mental health treatment and I believe that access to mental health care is a right and not a privilege.
