Maren Ostrowe, LMHC

Licensed mental health counselor, practicing since 2012

I have counseled adults since 2012. I started at a university counseling center, where most of my clients were graduate students and young professionals, and I opened Larkmoor Counseling in 2016.

In sessions I talk with you, not at you. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), because both give you something to practice between sessions. I explain each exercise before we try it.

I see adults only. When someone needs more than weekly counseling, such as a higher level of care or medication, I refer out. I do not prescribe medication.
