Life is full of challenges.

They vary depending on your situation and stage of life and they can be small, big, or anywhere in between. No matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to face the hard things without support. If you’re here, odds are, you’re looking for help. The good news: you deserve it - and you’ve found yourself in the right place.

You get to be happy.

Through a person-centered approach (that means there’s no one-size-fits-all solution), you can find the joy you’re missing, connect to the people you love, and find yourself again. Therapy is freeing. It helps you heal, move forward toward your goals, and feel better overall.

Basic human desires: to feel good enough and to feel like you belong. In case you are wondering, yes you are and yes you do.

How it works:

  • Reaching out can feel like the hardest part - congrats on making it here! Call or email - we’ll schedule an initial consultation, answer all your questions, and make sure we are the right fit.

  • Change can be hard, but it’s so worth it. Together, we will address your concerns, identify the things that are keeping you stuck, and learn new patterns for a healthy and happy life.

  • Therapy gives you life-long skills; the tools you need to live the life you have been seeking. Our job is to help you learn the things you need so that you no longer need therapy. It is our great joy to see you thrive!

Some words from clients:

“My experience as a client of Laura Ames spanned several years and two separate states. From inpatient facilities to outpatient and after-care treatment Laura stuck with me through and through. She had a very sincere and thorough disposition and the entire time provided me with unbiased insight into my actions, reactions, and interpersonal relationships. Most important of all, through good times and bad, I have never seen Laura give up on a client, including myself. I cant thank her enough for helping me get to where I am now.”
— Mark V

I have had the pleasure of working with Laura for over 3 years off and on. When I first come to her I was a shell of a human being with absolutely no sense of self . Through working with her on my self esteem, past family trauma, setting healthy boundaries and my codependency issues I have a complete sense of self and enjoy my life today. I’ve worked with many therapists in the past and none of them have made me feel as safe as Laura continuously does. She provides a judgment free zone and allows me the time I need to process. Therapy can be a scary journey but having Laura as a therapist has eased my fear.”
