Laura Martin, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Using humor and creativity to help you get your emotions (and your life) back under control. You’ve gone from being the rock everyone leans on to someone who flips a switch without warning. People are starting to walk on eggshells around you because they don't know which version of you they're going to get. It feels like those old weights you thought you’d dropped are actually just trailing behind you. You’re using the screens, drinks, and weed to keep your head above water, but it’s only a temporary fix. Deep down you know you’re just pausing the pain instead of actually healing it. It’s clear you’re carrying too much, and it’s spilling out. Let’s work on some strategies to manage those daily outbursts first so you can catch your breath. Then, we’ll dig into the why behind it all. I'm here to help you heal those old wounds so you can feel proud of how you show up for your partner and your kids again. Traditional talk therapy isn’t the only way to get things done, and if it’s not clicking for you, we’ll pivot. I’m a big believer in using creative tools to get under the surface. That might mean I draw something to help visualize what you're feeling, or you might find yourself reconnecting with your past through some simple art. It might feel a little unconventional, but it’s a safe space. I’ll be right there with you, and we won’t go deeper than you're comfortable going. A lot of the people I work with find that turning an abstract feeling into a visual metaphor is exactly what they needed to see the full picture. It’s often the key to finding what’s been hidden in the noise. If you’re ready to see things from a new angle, we can start whenever you’re comfortable. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. No pressure, just a chance for us to chat about what’s going on with you and see if this feels like the right fit.

You know you're ready for therapy when... - You've got a crap ton going on. - You've lost something: a person, a relationship, your hold on reality. - You're so sleep deprived, the bags under your eyes have their own zip code. - You can't seem to focus. - You're sleeping a lot more or a lot less. - You go off on the barista for spelling your name wrong. - Your dog won?t leave your side, but your cat is avoiding you. - You're ready to make a change. - You've realized that getting your life back is worth paying for even if you don't get Kroger fuel points on the purchase. - You spend 4 hours analyzing the exact tone of a three-word text message, eventually concluding it's a commentary on your childhood, when she was actually just tired. - You've become so good at the silent treatment that you've developed a sophisticated language of aggressive blinking and pointed sighs to communicate whose turn it is to take out the trash. - You've colored every single mandala in your adult coloring book, but instead of feeling zen, you're now spiraling because you used Sunset Orange instead of Muted Marigold on a petal. - You'd like to have someone on your side that not only gets you, but can actually help you fix things.
