A Private Space for Deeper Healing.

Specialized trauma, grief, EMDR, and somatic therapy for adults who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted beneath the surface.

You’ve Been Holding a Lot. You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone.

You may be getting through the day, meeting responsibilities, and showing up for others while struggling to find space for yourself. Maybe a loss feels hard to make sense of, past experiences keep resurfacing, or you feel disconnected from the life you want.

Here, you can slow down and talk openly about what’s been weighing on you. Together, we’ll explore what you need and work toward change at a pace that feels right for you.

I May Be a Good Fit for You If…

  • You’re navigating grief or adjusting to a life that looks different than you expected.

  • Difficult experiences still affect your emotions, relationships, or sense of safety.

  • You feel on edge, overwhelmed, or disconnected, even when things seem fine.

  • You want to explore EMDR or somatic therapy with support that respects your pace.

Meet Laurie Schulte

Reaching out can feel easier when you know a little about the person you’ll be talking to. I’m Laurie, a licensed clinical social worker helping adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, and life’s difficult changes.

My approach brings together conversation, EMDR, and somatic therapy, with attention to how your experiences affect both your mind and body. We’ll work together to understand what you’re carrying and find an approach that feels right for you.

Support for What You’re Going Through

Trauma therapy for adults who are ready to feel less controlled by the past.

Past experiences can continue to affect your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. Therapy offers space to work through what you’ve been carrying at your own pace and begin to feel more grounded and present.

Grief & Loss Counseling

Support for grief, loss, life transitions, and the pain of what has changed.

Grief is not limited to death loss. It may also come from major life changes, relationship losses, caregiving, identity shifts, or the life you thought you would have. Therapy offers a private space to make room for grief while finding a way forward.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety therapy for adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or always “on.”

Anxiety is not always visible from the outside. You may appear capable and composed while privately feeling tense, restless, exhausted, or unable to fully relax. Laurie’s approach looks beneath symptoms to support deeper healing and nervous system steadiness.

Depression Therapy

Therapy for adults who feel disconnected, depleted, or unable to feel like themselves.

Depression can look like sadness, numbness, exhaustion, irritability, isolation, or simply going through the motions. Therapy can help you explore what is underneath while creating space for reconnection, meaning, and emotional repair.
