Associate Therapist

Accepting New Clients

Laura Kent, LMSW, is a psychotherapist focusing on work with teens, adults, and couples. She enjoys connecting with clients and co-creating a relationship built on trust and authenticity. She uses this therapeutic alliance to foster exploration, change, and growth. Laura specializes in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.

Laura cultivates a safe therapeutic space that is collaborative, warm, and nonjudgemental. Her practice is centered around the power of connection and exploration leading to growth and understanding. Laura’s approach is relational, trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and draws on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Laura uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help couples work from existing strengths to improve communication, manage conflict more effectively, and strengthen friendship and intimacy in the relationship.

Laura understands the power of therapy to radically transform people’s lives, especially around relationship to self and others. She believes in the importance of deepening our self-understanding and listening to the cues our bodies are communicating to us. By learning to recognize these cues, we can avoid unnecessary stress and strengthen the connection we have with ourselves. The goals of her practice are to help clients gain insight, improve relationships, and promote long-term healing.
