Laura Saylor, Provisional LPC

Therapy

I have over 12 years of experience supporting at-risk children and families.

I strive to create a safe and empathetic space where clients feel heard and supported as they work toward their goals. When I’m not in session, I’m a proud mother of six, a hobby farmer, and a devoted plant enthusiast. Helping others grow—both in therapy and in life—is my greatest passion.
