Laura Merritt

Laura Merritt, LICSW provides psychotherapy services with a specialization in Anxiety and Trauma Recovery, Relationships, Sex and Intimacy and Psychedelic Preparation and Integration* to residents of California, Washington and Texas. She sees adults across the lifespan, focusing on adult individuals and couples.

Laura offers a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the whole person. This approach involves exploring, untangling and reworking patterns of thinking, developing and nurturing mind-body connection and developing awareness and connection to the nervous system while using time tested techniques like mindfulness, meditation, ritual and breath work. These practices can help you become more aware of signs of stress and learn how to rework conditioned and unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Laura also focuses on helping clients build resilience and find meaning and a purpose in their life. For clients who have chosen to explore emerging treatments like ketamine or psychedelic medicines, Laura offers a safe, confidential and informed space for the preparation, processing and integration of these experiences.

Laura offers a safe space for clients to begin their journey towards healing in addition to helping them become more empowered and ready to create a more meaningful and pleasure-filled life. Services are via online televideo, offering the ease of access to care for all people.

Laura strives to create an open space to discuss all identities - such as but not limited to - race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, sexual practices, disability, size, citizenship, religion and age.
