Hi! I'm Laura Joplin, LMSW, and my foundational therapeutic philosophy is that we don’t need to be fixed, but seen. I believe that the integration of somatic tools like yoga and meditation with classical talk therapy gives us room to understand this key truth.

I show up to session relaxed (comfy pants and flowy clothes!), warm and personable, humorous and acutely aware of the challenging environmental and structural circumstances we all face.

I value honest and thoughtful communication, which means I communicate in an attentive, supportive, compassionate, empowering, and non-judgmental manner while being authentic, direct, and transparent.
