Laura Tovar, LCSW, LSCSW

Accepting new clients (young adults through senior adulthood) for in-office and video telehealth. I just opened more hours and can get you in for a first appointment within the week. I schedule appointments starting at 7:00 am with my last appointment starting at 4:00 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I also offer limited appointments on Fridays. My scope of practice includes trauma recovery, reducing anxiety and depression, navigating life transitions, managing caregiver stress and parenting challenges, supporting individuals with chronic illness and pain, and healing relational issues with couples. I work with individuals 18+ through adulthood and couples. What is trauma? Trauma can be a one time incident like an assault or car accident. It can also be pervasive over a long period, such as bullying, parental emotional neglect or attachment injury, sexual abuse, domestic violence, health issues. People often wonder if their trauma is "bad enough" to talk about in therapy. The answer is this: if you have past painful experiences that impact your life in big or small ways, it is worthy of addressing and healing. I would be honored to help you navigate a way forward in healing. The extraordinarily good and hopeful news is that within each person is the ability for self-leadership and healing. Therapy just helps guide the journey. It is a big deal that you are considering adding therapy to your life. I hope you have a sense of pride for taking this important self-care step. Finding a right match with a therapist can often be challenging. If you think we might match, please reach out and we can chat about it. ==================================== And.... did you know... if you have a flexible savings account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or out-of-network (OON) health insurance benefits, you may have access to resources that reduce out of pocket therapy costs?
