Therapists in Lexington, KY

You made it here so you are one step closer to getting the help you deserve. Congratulations! I am a LCSW based out of Southern, Kentucky but originally from Middle Tennessee. I made my way to the beloved Commonwealth of Kentucky to complete my undergraduate degree, Applied Human Sciences with a focus on family and child studies, at Western Kentucky University (WKU). Go Tops! I liked WKU enough that I stuck around for another two years where I completed my Masters in Social Work.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a variety of mental health, behavioral issues, and trauma. I am also a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and am extremely passionate about helping adolescents and adults suffering from substance use disorders achieve freedom and recovery from their substance use. I am equally passionate about assisting family members struggling with maladaptive behaviors stemming from substance use disorders, such as codependency.

As a parent myself I understand how overwhelming it can feel to see your child struggling to understand, express, and manage their emotions. I can help your child or adolescent learn to control their emotions and behaviors to benefit the entire family! And the insight and skills gained in therapy will be utilized throughout your child’s lifetime. My approach is integrative, primarily adopting techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, play therapy, and behavior modification. Want to know more? I'd love to connect with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor who has been practicing in Kentucky for over 23 years. I've practiced in a variety of different treatment settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and residential levels of care. In these settings, I have had extensive experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, co-dependency, relationship and family issues. If you are struggling with a mental health or substance use issue, a current or past relationship, or just feeling stuck, don't hesitate to reach out to me to begin your path to recovery.

I live in TX, virtual only! Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. Executive Coaching available.

I believe in focusing not just on the individual client but the whole family in treatment, offering not only one on one child counseling, individual adolescent and adult counseling, but parenting and family sessions. At times individual sessions are the best approach due to the unique needs of the client, these being offered for children, adolescents and adults. With over 17 years of experience in counseling, I continue to greatly enjoy helping each individual take a step towards healing and the wholeness for which they were designed.

My passion is working with survivors of adulthood and childhood trauma (including religious trauma or religious deconstruction) using both talk therapy and somatic processing/movement (including yoga)

Often people come into my office wondering how and when things will get better, whether it is a parent bringing in their child they are not sure how to help after a traumatic event, or an individual just wondering how they will make it into next week. I believe in working with people through their crisis and into living fuller, healthier lives. This can look like individual sessions or even integration of family systems depending on the needs of each client.

Do you need support to achieve your goals? Would you like guidance in navigating daily life stressors? Or is it difficult to overcome things in your past? Have you thought that maybe it is time to talk with someone to get the desired results you have been hoping for? I am here to be a safe space for you to grow in the positive direction that you choose! I emphasize multicultural competency and respect for all genders and cultures in my practices. My kind and gentle approach coupled with motivation and healthy confrontation can be helpful in your journey.

Life can be challenging. Some people have an ongoing challenge due to trauma, anxiety, or toxic family dynamics. Others have situational challenges caused by stress, loss, or struggle in a new family dynamic. For children under 10, I work with parents and caregivers using CPRT, and SPACE. This allows me to work individually with parents to teach skills so that you may work with your child at home. These skills are lifelong skills, which most find to be extremely helpful! If a different company contacts you stating that I am not available, please know this is not me, it is a different service, not affiliated with me.

In the past, it was a stigma to have a mental illness or an emotional imbalance. Now it seems to be the norm for most of us to have difficulty finding balance in our increasingly complex world. It is also more mainstream to seek out a therapist to assist with dysfunctions, be they mild, intermediate or chronic. Clients seeking help with Laura Napora, LCSW can come from all walks of life and with an array of problems to work on. If you are looking for a personalized plan based on your circumstances and strengths, looking at small details and also at the "big picture" of your problems, this is your safe place.

Many of my clients have struggled with various forms of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and past trauma. Many of my clients have been women of color navigating challenges with family, work, grief, parenting and relationships, while attempting to cope with the stressors that come with these roles. Often, these clients are attempting to be the best version of themselves, and want assistance in identifying and strengthening ways to thrive, rather than merely survive.
