Getting to know Laura Shapiro

Hello, I'm Laura. Navigating life in all its complexities can be challenging and overwhelming. For this reason, I strive to create a safe, identity-affirming space for clients using gentleness, humor, and compassion. I hold the belief that all people are attempting to find happiness and ease. Unfortunately, we often become stuck in our lives due to patterns in our thoughts and behaviors that have developed due to trauma or our internal critics. It is my hope to provide kind insight into the patterns that are no longer helpful to you and support you in changing in the ways you want to. I graduated from the University of Denver in 2015, with my Master's in Social Work and an animal-assisted therapy certificate. Since then, I have worked with adults, children, teens, and families within the community mental health setting. I identify as a queer, cis woman, and I engage in a culturally responsive practice supporting clients who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and identity exploration. Additionally, my clients come from an array of cultures and backgrounds while holding varying beliefs and identities. It is my priority that my clients feel seen, safe, and understood, no matter their life experience or identities. I am eclectic in the modalities I use to respond to my clients’ needs; however, I often use mindfulness, somatic awareness, and EMDR to help clients feel empowered to make the changes they are seeking. Whether you are seeking someone to bear witness and listen, to find new coping skills, or to heal unresolved trauma, it is my hope to take that journey with you. If you feel that we might be a good fit, I would be honored to support you on your path to healing and growth. Let's work together to create the life you envision.
