Feeling like life has gotten beyond your abilities to handle? Perhaps you're stressed out from work, or the loss of a loved one. Perhaps there are struggles in your marriage, or you're wondering what's going on with your kids. Perhaps you are engaged and simply wanting to set yourself and your partner up for a successful marriage. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with a mental health concern and now you are concerned with how to help them. Or perhaps you or a loved one is struggling with self-harm or thoughts of suicide. Life may be difficult, but it can still be one worth living.

Navigating through the many challenges that life gives us can feel overwhelming, especially when you feel alone and uncertain about how to cope. I am passionate about helping individuals find their own inner strength to cope with challenges, such as anxiety, chronic illness, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers to navigate their way through school and young adults, to guide them towards finding their own identity in society. I aim to provide a non-judgmental, trustful, and collaborative space for discovery, empowerment, and growth.

Are you navigating a divorce as a family? Are you, as a parent, struggling with navigating how to connect with your teen? Are you feeling frustrated with understanding your neurodiverse child?

Children and adolescents today deal with a host of issues such as coping with stress and anxiety, navigating peer and family relationships, expressing feelings appropriately and managing developmental disorders. Understanding how to best express feelings and control behaviors can lead to improved relationships at school and home and increase self-esteem. I strive to help their children and teens make positive personal and social changes that will benefit them over the course of their lives.

Navigating the adolescent years is full of ups and downs for both parents and kids. Your teen or young adult is someone who is high-achieving and bright, but finds themselves dealing with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and comparing themselves to others. They tend to overanalyze, overthink, and their inner voice is too critical. As a parent you’re ready to see your child feel whole again. You’re ready to support them as they navigate change and transition. Most of all, you’re ready for them to see the wonderful gifts they have to offer. I want to help your family get there.

If you are looking for a therapist probably you are feeling stuck or helpless, maybe things are not just working for you in life. If you are looking for relief from such distress you have come to the right place. Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy” helps you gain insight into the complex interaction between your inner workings and external reality that is causing you stress. While pain, grief, and suffering are inevitable in life, being miserable is optional. You can either remain a part of the problem or choose to become a part of the solution, through the process of psychotherapy.

Hi! I'm Laura Joplin, LMSW, and my foundational therapeutic philosophy is that we don’t need to be fixed, but seen. I believe that the integration of somatic tools like yoga and meditation with classical talk therapy gives us room to understand this key truth. Sessions with me are a place to land amidst the swirl of life, develop skills for self-regulation and empowerment, form goals and intentions, and receive kind accountability around it all. I show up to session relaxed (comfy pants and flowy clothes!), warm and personable, humorous and acutely aware of the challenging environmental and structural circumstances we all face.

With a deep passion for improving the parent-child relationship, I specialize in working with families facing behavioral challenges in children, such as tantrums, irritability, big feelings, disproportionate reactions, anger, aggression, and defiance. My mission is to empower parents with effective tools and strategies to create a harmonious home environment. After equipping children with coping skills, I work with parents to reinforce skill use. By giving parents the tools needed to help their child succeed, therapy is more impactful and helps long-term.

My approach is guided by the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model, a third wave cognitive behavioral way of working with clients that incorporates mindfulness. I believe that the foundation to healthy functioning starts with sleep, diet, exercise, and mindfulness.

Navigating life and all of its choices can be difficult for everyone. I work with children ages 4-16+ and adults who need a caring, listening, licensed professional counselor (LPC). Effective changes come from setting goals in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We will work together to explore and set goals through evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).  Achieving goals that are set in our sessions can provide benefits over an entire lifetime.

Instead, I invite you into a world where therapy is interactive and dynamic, engaging more than just our conversation skills. Clients are from any life stage, ready to engage deeply in therapy beyond conventional talk. They're proactive individuals, from energetic children to reflective seniors, all seeking a therapeutic experience that's as varied and dynamic as life itself.
