About Me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have a specialization in Gerontology. I am trained in Complex PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy). I have over 18 years of experience. I have worked in all areas from outpatient all the way up to inpatient psychiatric hospitals. I have worked with clients from ages 2 to 92. I have worked with clients on many varied issues including depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, stress, job loss, divorce, addictions, trauma, and abuse. My most fulfilling job prior was working at a residential facility that focused solely on trauma and addictions and their impacts.
My counseling style is warm, direct, honest, caring, and supportive. Therapy can be very challenging and it is hard to break lifetime negative behaviors. I work best with clients who are ready to make the needed changes and are willing to put in the work needed to make the changes. I am by my client's side every step of the way. I utilize worksheets, homework assignments, and send out weekly challenges to my clients on various topics of interest.
The first step is the hardest and you should be very proud of yourself for taking that first step. If you are ready to take the next step and want to reach out to me I would love to work with you.

Ms Laura is truly amazing. She helped me talk through things such as grudges, communication, and self-esteem, etc. She's really has great information and helpful tips.
Laura is incredibly kind and understanding. After two sessions she’s already taught me various tools to help me navigate life a bit better and the tools have been realistic enough to implement easily, so I know I’ll be able to use these techniques for years to come! I highly recommend Laura!

Laura is so genuine and a wonderful listener. She has really helped me through the struggles I've recently been through, and I'm happy to have been matched with her
I was timid doing therapy at first, wondering if someone could make me feel I was understood. But sometimes I think Laura knows what’s going on in my head more than I do lol. Highly recommend her!
Laura has been very helpful and has offered me a number of ways to help myself during this stressful time in my life.
Laura is amazing! She matches my energy, keeps things positive and is never judge mental.
She’s great
Mrs. Laura is extremely knowledgeable and such a great listener! I feel as if she is truly cares about any situation you speak with her about and that she is really there for you! She gives the best advice and coping tools and even talks about self care which is great because I need to do more of it! I enjoy each and every time I speak with her and most definitely take every thing she says to heart! I always feel comfortable talking with her and look forward to our future sessions!

Talking to Laura feels like talking with a close friend. She’s very amicable and creates a very comfortable space. She genuinely cares about me and takes real joy in my progress. I was able to speak freely and candidly with her right away. She’s been able to teach me so much in the short time I’ve worked with her thus far.
Laura Roland always has the best advice!
She has been an exceptional help to me and I am grateful for her experience, friendliness, and ability. I am impressed by how quickly I have made progress in the areas that we’ve been working on and my experiences with Laura have bettered my perceptions of therapy and changed my beliefs on who I think therapy would be a benefit for.
Laura is spectacular! She’s helped me so much with managing my anxiety, I can’t thank her enough. She has so many fantastic tools and ideas that I never tried before and I really feel like they lead me to where I am today! I know I can always count on her to respond fast and remind me of how far I’ve come. I would definitely recommend Laura as a counselor, she’s a 10/10!
Best counselor everrr
Laura has been very empathetic and supportive. She offers good guidance which has been very helpful to me in dealing with my issues outside of therapy. Talking with her has made a positive difference in my state of mind.
Laura is great. I feel that she really listens and engages with me. I like her warmth and writing prompts a lot.
Laura is very in tune to my needs. She listens and offers advice that I can actually follow through on. I feel confident that she is helping me work on myself and improve.
I really appreciate the time I’ve spent with Laura. At first I was hesitant/ skeptical because I wasn’t sure about the whole doing therapy online thing. But after our first session I was extremely satisfied with the meeting. She did a phenomenal job at listening to me and providing feedback. I loved how she wasn’t afraid to tell me when I was wrong and helped me by challenging my ideas. Not just saying you’re wrong and need to get over it. Instead she helped guide my thoughts into realizing a different opinion/ viewpoint. Overall, I would highly recommend Laura to others.
