Hi, My name is Laura Marshall. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and young adults. I have worked with a wide range of populations but have a special interest in working with teens and young adults with depression, anxiety and trauma. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University and a Masters in Social Work from Barry University. I have been licensed for 14 years. Treatment modalities I commonly use include CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy. I believe everyone is capable of change and growth. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors together we can work on challenging unhelpful thinking and developing healthy behaviors and coping skills.

I am a seasoned therapist with 33 years experience providing caring approaches to help you heal life’s hurts and restore hope. I will provide a safe place where you can be open and honest with the circumstances of your life. We will work as a team to identify goals to help you achieve the outcome you desire. When life brings challenges and hurts that seem difficult to overcome. When you feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or angry. When work is overwhelming and you feel you need a change. When your relationships are strained and communication is difficult. When you have lost a loved one, or your marriage has failed. When you have lost hope and your faith is wavering. When you struggle with parenting and your children seem out of control. When you find yourself turning to alcohol or substances or other self destructive things just to feel better. Then get support from one who understands and has experienced many of these painful life events, someone who can relate to what you are going through with care and compassion and help you gain insight, perspective, and show you a way out, so that you can feel hope again. I offer an integrated approach of counseling, coaching, and life experience that addresses the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. I offer caring Christian perspective while respecting your personal values and beliefs. My approach is tailored to your needs with a goal to help you restore balance and find freedom from painful issues, and move forward. I work with individuals and teens, parents and families, and couples. I have an M.S in Counseling and a Ed.S in Family Systems from Georgia State University, with an undergraduate in Psychology and Sociology. I have 32 yrs experience as a counselor and 15 years experience as a college faculty at University of Pheonix, Clayton State University and the American College in Ga.
