Laura Hawley

Laura Hawley is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with a focus on helping adults and elders navigate the complexities of life. She understands that being a person can be challenging, often leading to entrenched patterns of thought, emotion, and action that contribute to suffering. These patterns, rooted in difficult and traumatic experiences, can trigger anxiety, depression, shame, and frustration. Laura collaborates with her clients to increase awareness of their human potential, enabling them to break free from old patterns and embrace a greater sense of choice, self-confidence, and ease. With her extensive experience, she has guided numerous individuals facing issues such as family history, trauma, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, burnout, isolation, grief, and chronic illness towards resolution in their work, home, and relationships. Laura employs a blend of mindfulness to cultivate self-compassion, conversation focused on personal strengths, and her insight as an acupuncturist, instilling confidence in her clients’ capacity to heal and grow. Known for her close, kind listening, she integrates story, metaphor, and humor into her sessions, maintaining a strong focus on achieving tangible results in a supportive therapeutic relationship.
