Laura Cavazos

Hello! I am so glad you're here. My name is Laura Cavazos and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I have been licensed for 15+ years and most of my work/specialization has been in the area of grief/bereavement/trauma working most of my career at The Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas, most recently working with adults experiencing traumatic loss. I believe in the inner resilience of all individuals and work from a trauma informed grief perspective, as most life's transitional difficulties are rooted in loss. I am most adept at working with life adjustments, transitional challenges from this perspective.

I am licensed by the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor and I generally approach therapy from an integrative theoretical orientation, which means that I utilize theoretical approaches suited to the specific presenting issues and concerns of the client. Foremost, I utilize a Person Centered approach to being with each client. By this, I hope to provide nonjudgement, genuineness, and empathy to create a safe and engaging space for you to explore emotions, heighten self-awareness, gain coping skills, and build resilience. I use a variety of modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Expressive Arts, Mindfulness, and Trauma and Grief Component Therapy. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative engagement between client and therapist in which you take an active role in working toward your goals, both within and between sessions. I always look forward to meeting with my clients!

I hope you will find our sessions to be inviting, warm, and safe ways for you to explore your inner world, challenge existing patterns or mindsets, and embrace your resilience.
