Laura Torres
Counselor - LPC
I believe that each individual has the internal resources and wisdom they need to thrive. I see therapy as a way to support clients with learning how to listen to and follow their inner guide. I combine more traditional insight oriented talk therapy with somatic (body-based) work grounded in mindfulness and compassion. My background and training is in Gestalt, Hakomi, Expressive Arts Therapy, Trauma Resiliency Model, and Somatic Attachment work. I am certified life coach and registered yoga teacher as well. As it’s appropriate, I also enjoy bringing in my experience and training in working with the Enneagram and with highly sensitive people. In my experience, what we focus on grows. So rather than focusing our energy on reducing symptoms, I partner with clients to identify and move towards that which enables them to live more fully.
