Laura Rand Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, MEd
Verified
I received a breast
cancer
diagnosis several years ago.
All of us have been wounded by life in different ways, personally and in and through our relationships. We need healing and find it painful to examine our wounds. The poet, Rumi, wrote: "Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you." I went back to graduate school so that I could sit with others willing to do this courageous work. Maybe you are ready for such a journey. I work primarily with adults, but I have worked with children for over 30 years as well.

Do you or someone you love have
cancer
? This isn't the life you expected or planned for. Every priority you had suddenly and unexpectedly changed in an instant. You are feeling an overwhelming flood of shock, sadness, fear, anger, confusion, disappointment, isolation, anxiety, and depression. It is so hard to talk with friends and family sometimes. Many people just don't understand what you're going through. You need to be strong all the time so you don't upset your loved ones. You have doubts about what to do. Sadly, friends drift away. The scans, biopsies, and treatments are relentless, and you fear that it may come back one day.

Counselor, MA, LCMHC

I am passionate about helping my clients reconnect more deeply with themselves and find a place within - that they feel secure and centered - so they can navigate the challenges of their lives and the times that we live in. I have worked with many people, especially women of all ages, who have struggled with challenges ranging from feeling insecure, depressed, anxious, angry, and hopeless, to lack of self-worth, motivation, and spiritual connection. I also work with women who have been diagnosed with breast
cancer
, terminal illness and those who are transitioning out of life.

#Teletherapy to help you through #QuarantineAnxiety! Are you feeling alone, anxious or depressed, worried about money, your career, illness? Relationship stress? My clients tell me I'm warm, easy to talk to, and down to earth. I use a variety of treatment approaches: psychodynamic and relational, combined with CBT, EFT, and EMDR. #EMDR can help almost any problem resolve more quickly because it allows the brain to make changes on a deeper level than just talking. We still talk plenty though, before, during and after EMDR. My clients are finding teletherapy to be just as helpful as in person. Including the ones doing EMDR!
Patricia Carter-Spurio
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCAS-A
Verified
I am passionate about supporting individuals who identify as women as they navigate the challenges of life. Addiction and recovery, relationship issues/co-dependence, chronic mental and physical dis-ease, and pregnancy/postpartum and parenting can bring us to places of deep loneliness, suffering and desperation. Past experiences have shaped our path and our behaviors. Brilliant strategies that enabled us to survive through trauma and adversity no longer serve us. It IS possible to shift those patterns. With loving connection and non-judgment I create a safe space for individuals to do the deep work that results in real life change.

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, harmful eating patterns, self-harm, or fall back on other old habits to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or fear. Maybe you are in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. You may be navigating your gender and sexual identify. Or perhaps you are concerned that your teenager is dealing with some of these issues. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone! I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.
James Colvin
Marriage & Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
Verified
What does it REALLY mean to be holistic and integrative? It means - you are a universe of different thoughts, quirks, capabilities, physical attributes, emotions, neurological functions, shortcomings, and strengths. It means problems aren't created - or solved - in a vacuum. In order to truly heal, we have to address the relationships between mind, body, spirit, and emotions. We have to consider the Universe. I work with members of all faiths (Christian or not) to restore the connection between mental health, physical health and spiritual health.

Josh Stone
Counselor, MEd , LCMHC-A, NCC
Verified
There is no need to struggle alone, and yet we often do. Our suffering may appear in many different forms; from depression to anxiety, to relationship issues, substance use and more. It’s time to shed this idea that “we have to have it all together” and let ourselves be human for a moment. In this honest space, my clients tend to become more in touch with their authentic selves and establish beliefs, values, narratives and take steps towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Matthew C Kirby
Lic Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, LCMHCA
Verified
I offer teletherapy to clients seeking support with a variety of issues, like anxiety or depression or even past trauma. Sometimes life is hard, and it causes us to worry. This worry can lead to depression and anxiety and disrupt everyday life. This may present as sleep disruptions such as over sleeping or not sleeping enough. Sometimes we may feel angry. We may place that anger on people around who we love and sometimes we may be angry with ourselves because we don't know how to stop the worrying. If we allow these things to get out of control, we may face other life issues. Let's work together and learn to manage the worry.

Hope you will get through this. Hope life can be different. Through a collaborative effort, we will partner together in mapping your road to healing. We will explore the barriers that have held you back. You will gain an understanding of how current and past life events hinder you from stepping into the life you have always desired.

Being a young adult female in high school, college, or in the beginning of your career can be both an exciting and terrifying time. Whether it be anxiety, self-esteem struggles, issues adjusting to and balancing new schedules/demands, relationships, possible current or past trauma and grief, new living situations, or even an ongoing battle as a young adult with autoimmune disorders and chronic illness; I am here to help you sort it out and find healthy coping patterns that work for you.

I create a safe space so that you can discover the sources causing patterns identified as unproductive so that renewal and recovery becomes a possibility. I work with 18-65 y/o cis women of any gender representation and sexual identity who are looking to heal from wounds of their past that have caused patterns they feel stuck in and who want freedom. I utilize somatic, mindfulness and attachment based interventions from the past 12 years of my training, guidance and experience as a mental health counselor and addiction specialist.
