Laura Clark, M.A., NCC

Pre-licensed Mental Health Therapist

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, or simply longing to understand yourself more deeply, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a warm, collaborative space to slow down, explore your inner world, and develop skills for meaningful change.

My approach is relational, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practices including CBT, ACT, DBT, attachment theory, and psychodynamic theory. I also draw from the Internal Family Systems framework, my training in Christian Spiritual Formation, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1).

I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults of all ages—supporting clients through difficult emotions, life transitions, trauma, faith questions, and the search for deeper connection with self and others.

Outside the therapy room, I love spending time with my husband of 28 years and our three grown children, practicing yoga, gardening, and playing with our dog, Teddy. I come to the work of counseling seasoned by life and grounded in compassion—bringing both personal depth and clinical expertise to meet you with presence, understanding, and practical tools for growth.
