Laura L Housel

I am passionate about learning about you and providing the support and resources you need to have a better quality of life. We shouldn’t have to go through this life feeling distressed, alone, scared, or helpless. I have had the honor to work compassionately alongside clients impacted by cancer, grief, spiritual concerns, homelessness, trauma, oppression, marginalization, sexual violence and trafficking, mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, body dysmorphia, body image and identity concerns, relationship and intimacy struggles, depression, anxiety, stress, shame, isolation, addiction and life transitions. As an art therapist, counselor, and yoga instructor, I hope to offer opportunities to explore relationships and the mind/body connection from a trauma-informed perspective that is appropriate, culturally relevant, and that meets the needs of the individual, couple, family, group, or community. I am training to be a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I enjoy meeting each client where they are, offering a safe place to be seen and heard. We work together to determine a plan that empowers you to meet your goals. Some clients are looking for tools, relationship skills, coping skills, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, acceptance, self-awareness, self-esteem, self-compassion, strength, and resiliency.
