Laura Akins
Welcome to BetterHelp! I look forward to knowing you and helping you to have a better, more peaceful and fulfilling life. My approach to counseling is relaxed - one person listening to and sharing with another - the simple, but not always easy, principles that make life better. A person can go to college, pass the tests and get the license. But a human being with heart, combined with past experiences can feel another's difficulties and emotional pain. Because of the victories and tragedies in my own life, I can relate to the hardships of others. Most of my career has been dedicated to helping people with emotional issues that steal peace and fulfillment. My graduate research was in the field of spiritual development. Whatever your personal religious beliefs might be, I am skilled at helping you find spiritual solutions to life's physical and emotional problems. I have 34 years experience assisting people heal from emotions relationship, and purpose of life issues. I relate to others, not based on gender, race, politics, or creed, but on the "the content of their character," as Dr. ML King said.

Are you in your 40s or beyond and feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed by life? Many adults reach a stage where the responsibilities of work, family, and personal expectations begin to take a toll. Depression can show up as constant fatigue, loss of motivation, irritability, or a feeling that life no longer has the meaning it once did. You may appear strong on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. I specialize in helping adults over 40 who are experiencing depression, life transitions, and emotional burnout. Therapy provides a safe space where you can talk openly without judgment, gain insight into what you are experiencing, and begin developing healthier ways to cope and move forward. My counseling approach is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you regain emotional balance. Together we will explore the patterns, stressors, and life experiences that may be contributing to your depression while building strategies that help you feel stronger, more confident, and more hopeful about the future. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure about the next chapter of their lives. Through our work together, clients often rediscover their sense of purpose, improve their relationships, and develop tools that help them navigate life with greater clarity and resilience. You do not have to carry the weight of depression alone. Reaching out for support can be the first step toward healing and creating a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through.
