Laura Trapani is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Denver, CO. Laura enjoys working with young adults and adults who face challenges when dealing with anxiety or depression, particularly the symptoms that develop as a result of trauma or life stressors. Sometimes, Laura’s clients feel overwhelmed by emotions like fear, anger, sadness, or loneliness. She also works with parents or those experiencing postpartum mental health issues.
Laura is a behavior-centered therapist who believes that the mind can be a powerful tool to use when working towards overall well-being. While actively listening to clients, she gently offers different perspectives to consider, which can then lead to big changes in mood. Laura’s approach to therapy brings together Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems therapy. Clients learn how to better manage distressing emotions through the use of coping strategies
