Getting to know Laura Thomas-Marlow

My focus has been on individuals of all ages struggling with trauma, attachment, mood issues, and family issues. I work with individuals and families struggling with the effects of trauma, change, anxiety, and their relationships. I am here to help build a sense of safety, joy, and connection. As most people in this society, I have been affected by trauma, and I believe that my personal insight as well as my training and experience. I work with all ages, though I am unable to work with small children right now as sessions must be virtual. I love helping people feel more empowered and grow in their understanding. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), my approach is built around you. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I will collaborate with you to find the most effective evidence-based plan based on your goals. I have extensive training in modalities like DBT, EMDR, and Attachment-focused therapies, which we can adapt to best support you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a caring, empathetic, creative therapist who believes that healing occurs for most people in several ways. Connection facilitates emotional insight adn resolution, building the skills of emotional regulation through knowledge adn practice, also facilitates growth and a sense of safety, which is the building block of emotional development, more positive emotions like belonging, connection, and safety, and is a key for physical health as well. Medicine can help, but the key to resolving trauma is in safety in our hearts, minds, and bodies; all our parts are needed and precious. I believe that another key is both acceptance and understanding that the only thing in our lives that we can have true power over is expressing our values and the beauty and meaning we are making and can make with our lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

From our very first session, my priority is to help you feel comfortable. We will spend time getting to know one another as we begin to build a diagnosis and a treatment plan that directly addresses your needs. I often use clinically appropriate, quick assessments such as GAD 7 to help create the best fit plan and assess growth. I am passionate about this work because I've seen firsthand the power of self-discovery and resilience.
