Hi there, I'm Laura! I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care industry. Skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Group Therapy for substance abuse, Crisis Intervention, Family Therapy, and Case Management. I have a background as a healthcare service professional with a Master of Science (MS) focused on Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I have a very empathetic approach to listening while providing unconditional positive regard for each member's issues and concerns.
I like to help challenge each member's thoughts and feelings to help identify a better understanding of how it's affecting their life's functioning that keeps them firmly positioned in their current state.
I like to be down-to-earth, and humorous and incorporate member's lived experiences to demonstrate the adverse effects of mental illness along with possible outcomes with evidence-based skills developed in therapy.
Take the first step to help. Call or Laura Lugo now - (858) 463-5625
