Approach and Services
My Approach
Laura currently provides individual mental health counseling that focuses on the whole person. This means her practice incorporates all parts of a person's life into the healing process. Her approach is rooted in meeting each client where they are at in their healing journey, from the moment they begin work together. In session, Laura recognizes each client as the expert of their own life. She will facilitate and guide sustainable change, and help the mind become a healing tool.
Laura draws on evidence-based modalities, that include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based CBT, inferential-based CBT (i-CBT), Exposure and Response therapy (ERP), strengths-based therapy, and narrative therapy. Additionally, Laura is trained as a trauma-informed practitioner, with professional experience in crisis stabilization and suicide prevention. It is impossible for one approach to work for every client, therefore clients will collaborate to create a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
