Therapy helps work through your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, interactions and relationships in a safe supportive atmosphere. A good therapist will support and guide you to gain increased perspective and insight while also empowering you to self-assess and identify solutions/needed changes, not impress their beliefs on you. The active change agent in your journey to increased happiness and fulfillment is YOU; a good therapist just guides the way. I am happy to help whether you are adjusting to change and transition, wanting to improve or change relationships, or hoping to learn better ways to manage/cope with stress/emotions.

That voice telling you it’s time for a change is not always loud, but it is persistent! My name is Laura Walsh and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience helping people create a better life through personal and transformative change. Traditionally, I have maintained a focus on anxiety and mood disorders, relational and familial instability, self-esteem, and substance abuse issues. Through the years, I've found that many seeking help with these problems are actually dealing with the emotional fall out of unresolved trauma - leading to my focus and specialization in the successful resolution of PTSD.

Finding a therapist who can listen, offer guidance, and meet your needs is no small task, but an important one. People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons but I believe that at the core most people are looking for a place to be heard and figure out how to be their best self. Whether you are a child, teen, or adult, I will use age-appropriate interventions to help guide you to explore your own strengths and engage in self-assessment in order to figure out how to do that in a way that is true and authentic to who you are and who you want to be.

Have you noticed that your child is acting differently– not as interested in school work, arguing more, changed her habits or friends, lost interest in hobbies, is more withdrawn?

I am a firm believer that the greatest experiences and our most difficult moments include other people. Relationships with others are not always easy to navigate. Experiences we have with other people can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. I love to support people exploring their relationship with themselves and how that can have a positive impact on our relationship with others. I have knowledge and experience working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, parenting, postpartum and identity issues.

Starting therapy can feel like the first step in a long run. As an amateur runner, I am all too familiar with that gut wrenching feeling! However, as we take the first strides, the nerves relax a little and we begin the slow cadence of deep breathing as we focus on our next steps. You may decide to speed up then notice some aches & pains. Rather than “pushing through it”, you can slow down and maybe even decide to stretch & drink some water. Once you feel more balanced then you reengage, feeling more confident each mile you ease into. Much like a long run, therapy seems daunting at first yet is so rewarding long term.
