Hello, I am Laura Whites, a licensed clinical social worker helping individuals with complicated grief, loss, panic, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. I expand on the word loss to include anything or anyone that is important to you or any major life event that has shaken you. Many of my clients use unhelpful behaviors to manage their feelings of loss and worry. Some of the behaviors I work with are disordered eating, excessive spending or substance use but this can be any unhelpful behavior that takes you away from the person you want to be.

I work specifically with adults looking for support in managing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and stress.
Life can be crazy right now, huh? We are facing immense unexpected life stressors that our brain and body are constantly trying to resolve. Do you find yourself having negative ruminating thoughts? Are you feeling tense, irritable, or anxious and wonder why do I feel this way? Are you experiencing conflict in your relationships but not sure why this keeps happening or how to solve it? I can help. I believe each client has the strength and capacity for change and awareness within themselves. My role is to provide insight, encouragement, education, evidence-based practices, and a little laughter to help each client reach their goals.

The majority of my 20+ years of clinical experience has been with individuals and couples dealing with a range of issues including childhood trauma, addiction, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, among others.
- www.christinajamesllc.com - My goal is to make clients feel supported, heard, and understood as they take the commendable step to start therapy. I believe each person holds instinctive wisdom about what they want and need for a healthy life, and that therapy is a wonderful way to bring this to the surface. As a therapist who holds white, hetero, and cis gender privilege, I am committed to ongoing self-reflection and accountability about how this privilege may show up in our therapy, in order to make this a safe environment.

I enjoy working with individuals or couple that are struggling to make consistent changes, or are making limited progress and could use some support from a professional.

I have an extensive background counseling individuals to help them resolve issues such as Mood Disorders, Panic Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD, Grief, Anger Management, Conflict Resolution, Truancy, Maladaptive Behaviors, and other Clinical Issues.
I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between the client and the counselor. This collaborative relationship allows the client and therapist to work together to address issues the client is facing through the development of mutually agreed upon clinical and personal goals. During therapy, I focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and communication that may contribute to client distress. I often address these issues utilizing Person-Centered, Systems, Cogitative Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (evidenced-based therapeutic practices).

Working on oneself may come as a challenge, an obstacle that may stand in the way of you becoming a better version of who you would like to be. Are you having trouble adjusting to changes in your life, such as anxiety, anger issues, difficult events, depression or some form of trauma? Therapy can be useful in helping individuals manage those stressors, and improve relationships with significant others, family members, and most importantly self. It may seem difficult to acknowledge what you're going through mentally, but the first step is knowing that you want to be that better you in every sense.

I have eight years of experience working in the mental health field with adults, adolescents, and children in inpatient and outpatient settings for issues such as grief, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and more.
Someone once said “Those who wish to sing will always find a song”. But sometimes finding the motivation to ask for help when you need it can be a difficult task. There may be times when you feel like you can’t go to friends or family for help. As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment for my clients so that we can navigate through those tough times together. As a result, symptoms of anxiety, depression and self-doubt decrease through an increased sense of well-being.
