About Me

After many years practicing in Kansas City, I recently relocated to Lebanon, Missouri, where I live with my husband and our dog, Tito. I am also an open-nest parent to three adult children, a season of life that continues to deepen my respect for transition, resilience, and the evolving nature of identity and relationships.

My practice is devoted to adults who function well in the world yet privately carry the effects of trauma, grief, or longstanding emotional strain. I specialize in integrative trauma therapy, combining Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, and depth-oriented psychotherapy to support healing at both the psychological and nervous system level. Many clients seek this work after realizing that insight alone is not enough — they are ready for therapy that creates genuine internal change.

I maintain a limited caseload to offer highly personalized, unhurried care. Therapy here is collaborative, confidential, and intentionally paced, providing space for meaningful repair, reconnection, and lasting transformation.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. If you are seeking thoughtful, depth-oriented care and feel a sense of resonance here, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Laurie@tglcounseling.com
