As a trauma-focused therapist, I often work with people who feel “stuck.” Stuck in old patterns, trapped in grief, lost in pain from the past, or just stagnating. With advanced training in Natural Lifemanship Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (NL EAP) and full certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I can help you find your way towards holistic healing. Therapy with horses is profoundly transformative, helpful for a wide range of difficulties, from life adjustments and anxiety to PTSD and severe depression. If you've hit a wall with office-based talk therapy, my four-leggeds and I are here to help you reach your goals!

I work primarily with adults and specialize in anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (including complex or developmental PTSD) as well as depression, relationship issues, performance enhancement and work stress. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have questions. You will find additional information on my website at www.drlaurakogan.com.

Making the choice to come to therapy is incredibly brave, and being able to share your intimate thoughts and feelings with a stranger is no easy task. My intention in therapy is to create a safe space where I can work collaboratively with individuals to help them meet their life goals. I provide a supportive, open, nonjudgmental environment, sprinkled with a bit of humor to provide my clients with a much needed sense of relief.

Welcome! Therapy has the potential to positively change the direction of your life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with both adults and adolescents for the past 25 years. My work with clients centers around dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, social issues, life transitions, as well as, school and work-related difficulties. I have extensive experience working with both undergraduate and graduate level college students. I offer a judgement-free atmosphere where individuals can feel validated and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

Welcome! I’m glad your journey has brought you here today. Do you feel like you’re hiding the real you? Do you worry that you make decisions based more on other people’s approval rather than your own sense of truth? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your relationships? Do you desire to live your most authentic life? Maybe you don’t know what it looks like. You might even feel afraid to find out. Life can feel scary at times. And sometimes we face moments that overwhelm us, and that cause us to shut down and disconnect.

Are you stressed-out, out-of-balance, overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you have a feeling that life is passing you by? Do you often feel so tired by bedtime but cannot sleep as racing thoughts run through your mind thinking about the "what ifs"?? Even when you get adequate sleep, you still drag the next day, consumed by worry, insecurities, and self-doubt? If this sounds like you, my holistic approach to psychotherapy will help you remove negative thought patterns, emotional blocks, and self-made limitations that may be holding you back from living your best life!

My approach to therapy is practical With over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults I focus my energy with clients on the present. I help my clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are creating difficulties for them.

Do you have trust issues in your relationship? Are you afraid to be honest with your partner or tired of trying to be someone you're not?

Contact me and we will talk about how you feel about your challenges and together come up with a behavioral and emotional strategy for you to move forward! By the end of our FIRST session, you will be given therapeutic goals that you and I will work on.

Do others see you as a woman who has it all together? Inside, are you feeling like you're falling apart? Do feelings of emptiness consume you? For many women suffering with emotional wounds, anxiety, isolation and hopelessness can become a daily part of life.

Sometimes compulsive eating patterns, substance abuse, spending or even relationships seem like the only way to numb the pain. You don't have to face it alone. We can work together to find new solutions for wellness, healing and recovery.

One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent is seeing your child in pain and feeling like there is nothing that you can do to help. Have you become increasingly concerned about your child's behavior at home or school? Do you worry that your child is struggling with day to day functioning? Are their behaviors difficult to understand and manage? Does the smallest thing seem to trigger your child? Is your teen withdrawing and not engaging in activities that once brought them joy? Is your teen engaging in harmful behaviors?
