Laura Parks brings compassion, creativity, and a practical mindset to her work as a counselor. With a background in community corrections and behavioral health services, Laura has supported individuals, from children to adults, in a variety of settings, including schools, treatment centers, and community programs.

Laura specializes in trauma, anxiety, and substance use treatment and is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Whether working with a child, teen, or adult, she believes that therapy should move at the client’s pace and be a space where they feel in control, supported, and safe. She encourages self-awareness and helps individuals face life’s challenges with honesty, self-compassion, and actionable steps toward healing.

Laura holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and has also contributed to her community through volunteer leadership, serving as president of her local youth lacrosse board and a member of her community’s youth baseball board.

Outside of her clinical work, Laura enjoys time with friends and family, and loves expressing her creative side through art. Whether it’s trying out a new project or simply creating for fun, she finds inspiration in bringing new ideas to life.

“Therapy is something everyone can benefit from at some point. If you're honest with yourself and open to the process, it can help you build a healthier, more fulfilling life.”
