Laura Walton
LMFT • Licensed Marriage Family Therapist
About
Trauma lives in our whole physical being – in our brains, our nervous systems, our bodies, and our breath. This holistic understanding forms the foundation of Laura Walton's unique approach to therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over a decade of experience, Laura has dedicated her career to helping individuals navigate the complex landscape of trauma and grief.
Laura's journey into therapy is deeply personal. A survivor of childhood trauma who has experienced significant loss, she brings not only professional expertise but also profound empathy to her practice. This combination of personal experience and professional training allows her to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore their innermost challenges.
Specializing in trauma-informed therapeutic modalities, Laura offers a diverse toolkit to address her clients' needs. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Brainspotting, and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Her practice is further enriched by her status as a Reiki Master and her extensive background in yoga and meditation, with over 1000 hours of instructor training.
Laura's approach is uniquely tailored to provide deep and sustainable therapeutic support. She offers Grief or Trauma Therapy Intensives, short-term programs that can span several hours or days, incorporating various modalities to address specific needs. These custom intensives, typically ranging from 4-20 hours, are co-created with clients to ensure a personalized healing journey.
Beyond her professional qualifications, Laura brings a warm, creative, and compassionate presence to her work. She values the use of humor in therapy and prefers a relaxed, authentic approach – choosing yoga pants and bare feet over business casual. This down-to-earth style, combined with her extensive expertise, creates an environment where clients feel both comfortable and supported in their healing process.
Laura's practice, "therapy with lovelew," is more than just a service – it's a safe and cozy space providing unique mental and emotional health care. Whether clients are grappling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or life transitions, Laura's goal is to empower them on their unique journey towards healing and self-discovery. With her comprehensive background and personalized approach, Laura Walton stands ready to guide clients through their most challenging moments, helping them unlock their innate capacity for healing and growth.
