Everyone I have worked with over the years had some area of life that they wanted to see changes in. I see my role as a guide to help identify realistic, effective, and lasting skills to start the process of change, as well as identifying personal or interpersonal barriers that are getting in the way. Reaching out for help takes a lot. I will respect your personal values, beliefs, and views regardless if I share them or not.

My goal is to help clients of all ages navigate their unique challenges and life transitions by empowering them to recognize and utilize their own strengths, values, and insights. I provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic space for you to increase awareness of patterns of behaviors, adopt new ways of thinking, and learn new or use existing skills to manage, heal and grow from presenting issues. I start by getting to know you and your unique story and worldview and then work with you to collaborate on your goals for therapy. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities, with a strong emphasis on cognitive behavior therapy.

Yet I believe we all have deep capacities for healing and for returning to our own innate wisdom and wholeness. Having a therapist you trust can be one great way to support yourself on that journey.

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

Life can be stressful, but starting therapy doesn’t have to be. I specialize in helping women develop a healthier version of themselves. I work with women with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, burnout, military & life transitions. One of my specialties involves working with women who are the first in their families to start therapy. Many of the clients I work with have experienced intergenerational trauma, trauma that is passed down from generation to generation. In the process of working with me, you will begin the journey of healing and discovering that making a change is possible.

Hello I am Laura Cahill! I am a passionate, energetic, and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a love for the art of engagement in the work of therapy. Do you feel like your emotions have taken over and pushed you out of the driver's seat in life? In life, we often experience challenges, unexpected stress and transitions, trauma, hurt, grief and loss. Understandably, we may struggle with powerful emotions that seem to almost overtake us. Part of the human experience is wanting to feel in control of our inner and outer lives. It’s time to step back from the battle-not by retreating, but by re-framing.
