Laura Kangelaris

I work virtually with adult individuals and couples to help them create change in three distinct spaces: - Our Head - Organizing and understanding our thoughts, the parts of the past that are affecting the present, and the meaning we make of our current situation(s). - Our Heart - Understanding, embracing and managing our feelings and how they reside and show up in our body. - Our Home - Connecting ourselves to our inner most feelings of "home" within self and the other; a feeling we all long for of being seen, heard, centered, connected and loved. I do this through various leading therapeutic approaches and practices and it is truly my passion and an honor to do so! I love helping feelings of overwhelm and being lost become clear, more organized, seen and heard. I love helping others understand what multigenerational patterns are at play in their lives and relationships and help them instead choose a pattern that works best for them. I love helping others connect to their partners in new ways where their love and connection has been missed or lost. I love helping couples who find themselves in a repetitive cycle of "here we go again" moments, break the cycle and learn new ways to communicate and connect. And I also love helping others heal past wounds of not being cared for, seen, and/or heard in the ways they needed and always have needed. I am a graduate of Virginia Tech's Marriage and Family Therapy program and I live in the Richmond area serving clients all across VA. I use she/her pronouns and I am a wife and mother.
