Laura Anderson Psychotherapy

I received my master of arts degree from the University of Chicago in 2008, and have worked for over 17 years in Chicago as a clinical social worker in community and private practice settings. My past clinical experience includes trauma and crisis work in the community, counseling in the schools for children and emerging adults, expressive and play therapy, and couple's counseling. My more recent specialties include working on creative block and with artists, writers, and musicians. And more extensive training in grief and loss. I believe my clients are capable of unprecedented healing and growth. Loss, set-backs, abuse, traumas, and declines in physical or emotional health all cause us to get stuck at times. If you are feeling paralyzed, overwhelmed, are questioning yourself, or you need to find ways to heal, therapy is a safe space to explore your options and find ways forward. My approach to therapy prioritizes understanding you and the complexities of your situation. I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities and incorporate them based on my understanding of my clients' unique personality and needs. By working to establish a relationship focused on bringing to light who you are as an individual, what holds your attention, and what inspires you, we will work together to facilitate healing and growth. I would love to answer any questions you have about beginning therapy. Please send me a request for a free consultation or appointment!
