Laura Walton, LMFT
Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Trauma Specialist
“I see you as a whole, perfectly imperfect being who has learned how to survive life in a certain way. That way may have become maladaptive, but you don’t know how to change it. This is where my passion lies, and where I can help. I’m easygoing, warm, relatable, and compassio
Nancy Harkins, MA, LPC

“I believe life is a process and a journey not a destination. The therapeutic process is not only for the individual who is experiencing crisis, it is a journey of personal evolution: self-discovery, learning, personal growth and empowerment. I facilitate and guide my client’s process to support them in making conscious Life Choices.”
