Laurie Silvan

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have worked as a school social worker for 20 years with adolescents and families. I am also a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator through Copper Beech Institute. I am passionate about integrating mindfulness practices with other healing modalities.

Most recently, I received certification from The Embody Lab in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. I am also passionate about discovering how our bodies experience and hold trauma. When we discover the ways we hold our emotions and experiences in our bodies, we can began to unravel this and experience a different level of peace and freedom.

Would you like to dive deeper into your own inner healing? Would you like to work with someone with a holistic, soulful, and mindful approach? I would love to work with you to allow you the space and support you need to heal and live abundantly, peacefully and expansively. During our sessions, you will be supported as you give attention to the places within you that you desire to heal. I will teach you strategies to regulate your emotions so that you can respond to life feeling centered, confident, and aware. If you experience feelings overwhelm, stress, or dysregulation of your emotions, therapy can be a supportive place to experience these emotions and integrate them into your life without becoming overwhelmed by them.

During our first session, I would love to be able to gain a broad picture of who you are and what your current needs are. I may ask some general questions to get to know you and will tell you a little about myself and my approach. During our first session, my goal is to establish a genuine connection with you and to create an environment where you will feel comfortable opening your heart.
