ABOUT ME
PROUNOUNS: She/Her
My name is Laurie Ann Larimer and I am a licensed LPCC licensed in New Mexico(with 5 years of post-licensure practical experience) working with individuals experiencing stress related reactions that affect them personally and in their relationships. My approach is empathically focused with getting to know my clients needs being the priority. I combine strong evidence based clinical techniques combined with eastern esoteric knowledge rooted in ancient old world wisdom.( I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist with 8 years of experience and studied Shiatsu in Japan) My work is rooted in the deep belief that people are innately good and want to walk in the direction of self actualization. My life's work has been to help people achieve their best possible potential through using techniques from therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, Somatic, Art Therapy, IFS, Energy Medicine, Shamanic and mindfulness training. The combination of teaching transferable skills along with somatic re-alignment is a methodology which affects deep long lasting positive change in the individual. Let me help you reach your highest possible potential through working with you on a platform of empathy, unconditional positive regard to enable maximum therapeutic connection and benefit. If you are looking for a therapist to help you beat anxiety, sadness, insecurities and feeling lost in life- your search for healing ends here. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you hope to connect with you soon.
It is my deepest commitment for you to have an exceptional therapeutic experience in working with me. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, DBT, Mindfulness, Somatic and Art Therapy. I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
