Laura Gordon

Laura Gordon, a Licensed Professional Counselor with credentials including MACC and MDiv, specializes in guiding adults and elders in navigating through trauma, PTSD, and eating disorders. She understands how individuals often find themselves trapped in a cycle of 'shoulds'—feeling pressured to be happier, stronger, or more grateful. Many may struggle with the belief that they are a hopeless cause, questioning whether true healing is attainable. Having lived through the pains of disordered eating, trauma, addiction, and loss, Laura recognizes the impact of diet culture and societal messages that diminish self-worth. She is dedicated to helping clients reconnect with meaningful relationships and experiences, rather than numbing their pain. Laura believes each person's story is sacred and deserves to be acknowledged. She is committed to witnessing her clients' journeys and supporting them in finding meaning while crafting a new narrative of healing and hope. With Laura, participants are encouraged to bring their unique interests—be it art, poetry, music, spirituality, or nature—into the therapeutic space. Reminding them that they have everything they need within themselves, she aligns with the wisdom of Rupi Kaur: 'The greatest lesson a woman should learn is that since day one, she’s already had everything she needs within herself; it’s the world that convinced her she did not.' The healing journey may lead to dark places, and Laura's role is to carry the light of hope until her clients can claim and embrace it for themselves.
