Getting to know Laura Brown-Rivera

Hey my love, I'm Laura -- welcome to Audacious Healing! As a Black, queer, neurodivergent, femme-presenting therapist, I bring refreshing honesty to a space that's actually built for you to let your hair down. No performing, no pretending — just real talk, empowerment, and the motivation to keep going. I've spent over a decade as a trauma therapist--working with teens, young adults, parents and families who don't always see themselves reflected in traditional therapy spaces. Specialities include: Trauma CBT, Somatic Healing, EMDR, Identity Work, LGBTQIA+, Black Culture, Confidence and Empowerment work, and much more! If you're ready for a space where you can show up fully as yourself, book a free intro call to see if we are a good fit for you!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
