Oak Ridge , NC
Counselor, LCMHC
Laura Wesson is a dedicated counselor with credentials including LCMHC, LCAS, and NCC, specializing in supporting individuals navigating the roller coaster of anxiety and depression. Many can feel out of control due to life changes, relationships, and significant events, often becoming trapped in unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and actions. Laura recognizes that it is common to hyper-focus on relationships or to rely on external substances such as alcohol, marijuana, pills, food, porn, exercise, gaming, social media, shopping, and gambling for immediate relief. She provides a safe space for individuals to discuss their challenges and acknowledges that everyone faces overwhelming difficulties at some point in their lives. Asking for help is a courageous step, and Laura finds immense gratification in assisting clients facing anxiety and depression linked to life's challenges and relationships. Everyone deserves to invest effort in becoming a healthier version of themselves, and Laura is excited to be a part of that transformative journey.
