My ideal client is someone who is wanting to take a deeper look at their own reflection. Have you ever seen a movie or television show with an insensitive therapist and thought: Is this what therapy is supposed to look like? I can tell you therapy with me will not look like the disinterested professional depicted on television. My therapy style is built on the keystone of rapport building. I value our time together and respect boundaries as we work collaboratively to navigate some of life’s hardships.

Feeling stuck and not knowing which way to turn? Feeling overwhelmed and not sure how to ask for help? Not sure what to try next? I have been there. Unsure, overwhelmed, and afraid of what I might discover if I looked inside. That is where I began my own journey back in 1987. That is how I know that there is hope. It is unfortunate, that we don’t get to pick our parents or early care givers. For many of us, the experiences from early childhood, shape who we are today and how we interact with the world around us. These experiences are powerful influences on how we cope with life stress and even the partners we chose in life.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Harrisonburg, VA with specialized training for trauma counseling, biofeedback, and equine assisted psychotherapy (as an add-on to office-based sessions). I believe that the symptoms we experience are from hurt parts of ourselves that have been disconnected or hidden, and healing comes from rebuilding that relationship within yourself and with others. I enjoy taking the journey alongside my clients as they build awareness of how their inner world impacts relationships, so that they can find safety, comfort, protection, and joy again in themselves and the world around them.

You've probably already tried to figure out how to feel better. Sick of being told that you're "too sensitive" or "overreacting," you're exhausted by how emotions and memories reach out and grab you, ripping you from your best efforts at stability. The effects of trauma, including high levels of anxiety, may make you wish you could simply just get rid of your emotions. It doesn't seem to matter how smart you are or how great a problem-solver you are in other areas of your life. The end result is that you're discouraged. I offer a collaborative approach with interventions that work. Come work with me and find hope and change.

Far too often, life does not go as we hope or plan. It is at those times that we can truly benefit from supportive others showing us that we are not alone, and the powerful experience of someone validating, while also empowering us to overcome, our challenges. I believe that therapy is a space that can offer this support, and I value the chance to help individuals navigate life's transitions and obstacles. Through my training and work experiences, I have learned to empathize, and work effectively, with college students and individuals across the lifespan, from diverse backgrounds, and with a wide-range of concerns.

Therapy is more than processing trauma and negative situations that may have happened in your life. It is about learning how strong you are in spite of those situations. It is about establishing a connection with yourself that reveals your identity, helps you to trust yourself, grow in your personal faith, and create healthier behavior patterns.

Thoughts keep spinning in your mind like an idling engine. Each time it slows down, something gives it another push and it keeps going around. You imagine familiar scenarios, images, and disasters over and over again. You're sure something bad is going to happen. It’s not just stress from school, work or the responsibilities at home. The worry and fear get so bad sometimes that they might boil over into panic. Maybe you have become avoidant of the people or places that trigger these feelings, but then in the back of your mind you hear it whispering. You know deep down that you can't go on like this. And yet, what else can you do?

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.
