Hello,

Welcome to The Cognitive Counselor!

​

I’m Lauren Haas, an adoptee, counselor, and author of A Heart That Holds It All. My own adoption story shapes the heart and intention behind everything I do. Drawing from both personal experience and my professional training as an elementary school counselor with a master’s in counseling, I help adoptees and their families navigate the unique joys and challenges of adoption.

​

Whether you're seeking guidance for your child, your family, or yourself, my approach is grounded in genuine connection, practical solutions, and creative, art-based techniques. Here,

you'll find a safe space where your story matters.

​

I look forward to supporting your journey toward healing, resilience, and belonging.
