Laura Duncan, LMSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients work through challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, and individuals experiencing significant life changes or emotional struggles.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward personal growth. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
