I am an experienced therapist in Pensacola for over 30 years. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from The University of West Florida and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the Florida State University. I have worked in a wide variety of clinical settings.

I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space for people to explore and express themselves while also processing and learning to cope with life’s challenges. Sometimes, you need help navigating unwanted thoughts, negative beliefs, past traumas, and relationships. You don’t have to do it alone; that’s where I come in. My goal is to help you begin to function at your best level. I work to offer help with tools to solve problems or just to listen. Together, we can collaborate to help you recognize your own strengths, change unhelpful patterns, and develop skills for coping with life’s difficulties.

As a TBRI Practitioner and Social Worker, I have a background in working with a variety of diagnoses and in a variety of environments. Some of these diagnoses include ODD, PTSD, ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety. My current practice focuses on helping adolescents and adults make sense of their past, successfully navigate their present and find hope for their future. I believe your presence is evidence of immeasurable strength. I want you to become the best version of yourself! Over time, you will find I see myself as a member of your team to help you achieve each of your goals.

As a highly experienced Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years in the mental health field, I aim to empower individuals to find inner strength and confidence and to believe in themselves again. I work with clients through a solution-focused and CBT approach to identify and develop the skills needed to resolve their unique challenges and situations. I help clients to embrace their truth and live in the present, encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions while also reminding them that it is ok not to be perfect.

Stressed? Anxious? Generally feeling overwhelmed with emotions, and need someone to talk to? Let's figure it out together! As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I put a lot of focus into trauma healing, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This method can be used for many different issues, as well as processing any early trauma, this is often present when we can’t quite figure out why our mind and body are always on high alert. Our bodies do really well in telling us what we need to work through. I can help you become more attuned to your needs.

Welcome, you've taken the first step on your journey to healing and I can't wait to start walking with you down this path. I use techniques and interventions such as EMDR, Talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), introspective education and Mindfulness to provide the relief and healing you need. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger management, self-harm, and ADHD.

I have specialized in working with Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders since the late 1990's and have worked with hundreds of patients, trained other professionals all over the US, and published a range of books on optimal OCD treatment ("The OCD Meditation Book"; "The ERP Cure"). OCD is the result of miscalibrated circuitry in the brain that should be looking for danger, but for those of us with OCD is looking for perfection which it can never find. Having OCD myself I will be able to more quickly understand the way your OCD works and develop a specially tailored plan to get your brain working better.

Being a counselor is a great privilege! I enjoy walking with people through some of the darkest times of their lives as they move forward to reaching their goals. The environment of the client-therapist relationship is unique and powerful. Within this context, growth is contagious. It's amazing to watch people say things like "I finally know and like myself" and feel that they no longer feel "stuck" or full of confusion or regrets. In order to be engaged in this process, I believe in being genuine, caring, and straight-forward.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern as well as a Certified Trauma Professional. I have 10 years post-Master's experience working with adolescents and adults in various settings such as schools, hospitals, and shelters. I currently work with ages 11 and up and I can help with issues such as trauma recovery, stress/anxiety, depression, self-esteem, unexpected or tough life transitions. I believe that you already have the answers you need within you. Let's work together to clear out all the noise and ground yourself in your own innate wisdom.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience and have worked in a variety of mental health health systems, from inpatient settings to Wellness programs with major corporations. I am currently with the group, Psychological Associates, P.A. This line of work appeals to me because I believe that change is possible. I have been described as warm, understanding, and dedicated. I see therapy as a method of reaching one's potential. I will strive to help you reach your goals while remaining mindful of how valuable your time is.

Hello! I'm Laura. I'm here to help you with depression, anxiety, coping skills, and more! Are you struggling with work, relationships, or transitions? Perhaps you are a college student struggling to cope with the stress of that life transition, parental relationship, or keeping up with everything. Maybe you're a mother of 3 and having a hard time keeping your head above water. I'm here to help all just trying to get by or make positive changes in their life. I am not limited to the above. I can also help manage mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, PTSD, and OCD.

I believe therapy is about active collaboration and discovery. Together we will explore how your current patterns either support your happiness or contribute to your struggle. Areas of distress are commonly patterns that repeat over and over----in how we cope, our self-esteem, and our relationships. Common psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression can often be linked back to the way we relate to the world, ourselves, and others. You're the expert on you. Once we've identified the underlying patterns, we can work together to develop a new way of interacting with the world around you and the people in it.

Do you want to feel empowered to take healthy risks? Do you have everything in life but still feel unhappy ?

I treat clients dealing with depression, anxiety, grief/loss issues, divorce recovery, substance buse/dependence, communication and relationship problems, adjustment and transitioning problems, anger, stress, anxiety and spiritual issues. I participate in many employee assistance plans. My private practice is unique because I offer a faith based atmosphere which give you a place of refuge and healing.
