Counseling
The Practice
Authentic Relational Counseling is an independently owned counseling practice offering in-person and virtual psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults in the Greater Houston Area and Texas. The mission of the practice is to provide effective, efficient, and transformative treatment to those suffering the effects of significant life challenges. Laura believes it is through an authentic therapeutic relationship through which one feels seen, heard, and understood that healing can begin.
Treatment Approach
Laura's approach is compassionate and treatment-oriented. She cares deeply about each individual and maintains consistent education to ensure her skills are relevant and effective to meet their needs. Laura works collaboratively with clients through listening and seeking to understand their concerns and circumstances. She is mindful of the broader impact family, friends, work/school, and society can have on a person's mental and physical health, and she takes her role seriously with respect to each person under her care.
Expectations
Counseling is a shared effort between you and your counselor. The first session's focus is to begin gathering history, assess symptoms, strengths and resources, and determine treatment goals. Laura will then formulate a treatment plan specific for you and work efficiently to guide you through the healing process. The length of time it takes to resolve your concerns depends on their complexity and your willingness to work through the process as guided. Laura will support you along the way and expects that you provide honest feedback to better help her help you.
