In the couple of sessions we have had so far, I am grateful for the expertise Laura Headley shows. She listens well, connects the dots, asks thought provoking questions, provides insight and encouragement toward my goals. I have noticed a shift in my thinking/attitude since I started working with her.

I love working with Laura!! I am definitely someone who needs to utilize therapy to vent and she listens so well and supports me in every way. She will offer knowledge and ways to learn or work through rough times and she can recognize if I just need to speak and feel validated. I also love that if I am having a panick attack and message her, she will respond and make me feel heard but also help pull me back into reality and calm down.

Laura is phenomenal. She has supported me through one of the hardest years of my life, and has never ceased to make me feel appreciated and important. She makes me believe in myself, and my needs, and my goals. I will never be able to thank her enough for everything she does.
