Counseling for Anxiety, Depression & Life Stress
Counseling can help patients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, caregiver strain, relationship concerns, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. Treatment is individualized based on each patient's needs, circumstances, and goals.
Child & Adolescent Counseling
Children and adolescents may benefit from counseling for emotional, behavioral, family, school, or developmental concerns. Treatment may include developmentally appropriate counseling, parent consultation, and other approaches based on the child's age and needs.
Play Therapy
Laura is a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and has advanced training in using play-based approaches with children. Play therapy provides a developmentally appropriate way for children to communicate, process experiences, develop coping skills, and work through emotional or behavioral concerns.
Trauma-Focused Counseling
Counseling is available for patients affected by trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Laura is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based approaches that may be incorporated into treatment when appropriate.
Integrated Medical & Mental Health Care
Because counseling services are provided within a primary care practice, our medical and mental health professionals can collaborate when appropriate to help address both physical and behavioral health needs as part of a coordinated approach to care.
