Feeling lost, alone, and misunderstood? Life and relationships aren't turning out quite like you thought? Maybe you never quite fit in or were able figure things out like others. You might be going through changes such as: shift in your work or career due to burnout or distress; transitioning from a religion; late diagnosis related to neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, etc.); exploring identity; realizing your coping strategies have become addictive or harmful; re-examining relationships, intimacy, roles, experiencing conflict or time of reckoning; feeling disconnected from self, others, spirituality; or experiencing grief or loss.
I combine psychotherapy with art, nature, and mindful movement for nurturing a felt sense of belonging, acceptance, and aliveness for support that is as unique as you. I specialize in working with those that feel like outsiders and misfits in midlife or other transitions to explore and create self, spiritual, and relational connection that works for them.
I'm Laura L Housel and am passionate about providing supportive, affirming, and nurturing space for those that feel different, don't fit in, or don't belong. I aim to support other misfits, rebels, outcasts, and "black sheep" in finding self-acceptance, deeper connection to themselves, others, and something more for an embodied sense of belonging and joy.
