Laura Riggs

My communication style

My style is warm, direct, and deeply empathetic. I create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I approach each session with honesty and compassion, offering encouragement and practical guidance. I incorporate writing assignments to engage deeper self-reflection and unlock difficult thoughts.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by overcoming challenges, finding healing through therapy, and discovering resilience. I survived a dysfunctional upbringing, worked through my past, and found strength in my belief in a higher power. Through these experiences, I discovered a deep calling to give back.

My goals for you

I help clients set meaningful goals and create structured plans to achieve them. Whether working through trauma, addiction, medical issues, relationships, or emotional challenges, we break goals into manageable steps. I incorporate structured conversations, self-reflection exercises, and writing assignments to deepen insight.

Our first session

My goal is to make our first session welcoming and pressure-free. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your current challenges, and your goals. I'll ask about your mental health history and introduce Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explaining how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect.
