Laura Deterville

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been providing counseling services for 20 years in a variety of social service settings. I believe that every person has the potential to be successful, but at times may not have the support to reach their goals. I offer a safe space to explore life transitions, feelings of depression or anxiety, low self-esteem, grief/loss issues, relationship struggles, midlife issues, caregiver stress and other life challenges.

I use a variety of approaches to therapy depending upon each client’s unique personality and individual needs. I can help you to identify obstacles, strengths and goals and gain a sense of empowerment in your life. With my clients, I am compassionate and offer straightforward feedback and guidance incorporating humor into my work where appropriate. I typically assign homework between sessions, such as observing your thoughts, writing in a journal and other methods of self-reflection.

I want you to feel heard, understood, supported and validated. We work at your pace to address your concerns. I want you to leave our sessions feeling hopeful and cared for. I will help you develop the skills and strategies to gain insight and awareness, cope with life stressors, increase feelings of self-worth, and enhance meaning in your life. Life can be difficult at times and counseling can give you the tools to meet life’s challenges. I look forward to working with you!
