Getting to know Laura Woods

With over 25 years of experience, I provide evidence-based therapy for adults, including those with military and veteran backgrounds. Having lived overseas and in many states, I've had the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life and appreciate the richness of diverse experiences, which I have also brought into my practice. My approach My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and practicality. When appropriate, I appreciate a touch of humor, believing laughter can be a powerful part in healing and connection. My focus Anxiety, depression, and life transitions can feel heavy; having support can make all the difference. Together, we will discuss your concerns and create a personalized plan that feels supportive and manageable for what you need. My communication style Clear communication is central to my practice and helps create a supportive, non-judgmental space. Through active listening and reflection, I will help you examine your experience and work towards your goals. During periods of difficulty, I will maintain a calm, patient, and consistent presence. My journey to mental healthcare I found my way into therapy as a young mom balancing parenting, college, and a move away from my support system to attend college and establish my career. Through those experiences, I changed paths, realizing that helping others navigate life challenges was my passion. My goals for you I see therapy as a collaborative partnership, and we'll create goals that truly matter to you. As you make progress towards your goals, we can always adjust the plan to feel meaningful to you and aligned with where you want to go. My first session with you Let's get to know each other in this first session and explore what brought you to therapy and what you would like to get out of our sessions. It is normal to feel nervous about sharing your story with others, so we will move at your pace, and I will help guide you through it.
