Lance Faegenburg, LMSW
Sometimes dark places need flashlights. Early in my education to become a therapist, I learned being allowed to walk with someone during a dark time in their life is an honor. As a therapist it is my intention to deserve that honor and to be a flashlight of sorts to help remove those emotional filters which often darken our experiences.
I have worked with veterans, domestic violence survivors, survivors of human trafficking, children, adolescents, autistic youth, and LGBTQIA+ youth. My primary experience has been working with adolescents and at-risk youth. Currently I practice at Second Chance Ranch where we utilize animal assisted therapy.
My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I utilize a strengths-based client focused approach in which you are the expert on your own life and it is my role to guide you to positive outcomes you define.
