About

For much more information about me, visit my website at https://laurawaltonlmft.com I am licensed in Arizona and Maine. I offer in-person therapy in Arizona, and online therapy in Maine. You’ve been through a death or big loss, trauma, or major life transition. Or maybe you just know something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, while inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, reactive, stuck, or simply not quite like yourself. Maybe you recognize some of the patterns you keep falling into, or maybe you have no idea why you feel or respond the way you do. Either way, you’re ready to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and start changing the patterns that keep you stuck. Yoga has shaped my life and work for over two decades and inspired my book, The Yoga of Grief. My therapy approach, The Practice of Transformation, blends grief- and trauma-informed therapy with yoga’s philosophical and practical teachings, applied to real life. You might be a longtime yogi or never plan to touch a yoga mat. Either works. I’ve lived through grief, trauma, and the kind of life experiences that divide things into “before” and “after.” My style is warm, curious, real, and collaborative. I believe we can understand the patterns we’ve developed, decide which ones still serve us, and practice new ways of moving through life. Lasting change happens through practice, not perfection.

Testimonials

“Laura changed my life. I know, it’s dramatic, but truly, my life after experiencing a trauma was at a point where I didn’t know how to direct it anymore. Now I am no longer the shell of who I was.”

Past Client

“I started therapy after my partner committed suicide. It was an extremely traumatic event. However, I'm grateful to say that I am not traumatized, I do not have PTSD, or the guilt that was so overwhelming. I consider Laura the best therapist in the world. ”

Past Client

“Starting care with you completely changed the way I view healing, and the way I view my human experience. The work we have done has resulted in countless waves that have rippled through all aspects of my life. You have exceeded all my hopes as my therapist.”
