Laura Martin, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  This page describes my approach to counseling and serves as my Professional Disclosure Statement. My counseling practice is rooted in a basic understanding that we are inherently whole, completely interconnected, and that there is more right with us than there is wrong with us.  Therapy is a way to practice and balance strategies of acceptance and change.  My style is warm, active, and encouraging.  While issues of past and future are important to some degree, our focus will return to the power and wisdom of the present moment.  In therapy we will practice increasing moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behaviors.  We will also look at how changes in these areas may be conducive to improved health (mindfulness-based therapy).
