Lauran Terragrossa LPC

Founder

Hi, I’m Lauran, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Big Earth Counseling. I began my career as a special education teacher in Philadelphia, where I developed a deep passion for supporting people through challenge and growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania and am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, ego states work, and inner child healing.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, nervous system-based care, supporting clients in feeling safe, empowered, and connected to themselves. Big Earth Counseling was created as a steady place to land — a space for meaningful healing and lasting change.
