Laura Sgro, LCSW works with folks seeking to build (or rebuild) their connection to themselves and others. After earning her MSW in 2018, she went on to work with children, teens, and families in a variety of settings, including outpatient, school-based, in-home, wraparound, and residential programs, before opening her private practice in 2021. In her practice, Laura works with adults of diverse identities and backgrounds, and is especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks. Her clients often struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-worth, attachment and interpersonal issues, and relational trauma. Laura integrates Brainspotting, EMDR, CBT, ACT, parts work, psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, and mindfulness techniques to personalize each client’s care. Her clinical work is rooted in her core values of authenticity, integrity, exploration, connection, intersectionality, and growth. With these guiding principles, alongside humor and a laid-back, conversational style, Laura strives to create an environment where clients feel safe to bring their whole selves into therapy and can achieve meaningful and sustainable change.

Life can be HARD. Whether it's always been tough or just recently spiraled out of control, it really sucks to feel stuck, lost, anxious, or unfulfilled. It’s painful to live in constant fear that making the wrong move will lead to abandonment, hardship, judgment, or failure. And it can be difficult to silence your inner critic when it won’t leave you alone. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by these impossible expectations, or you’re ready for change but don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place. In our work together, we’ll examine unhelpful narratives and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. We’ll explore the thoughts, feelings, fears, expectations, and goals that exist below the surface and then figure out, together, how to handle them. We’ll listen to the stories held in your body and find healthy ways to release its pain. We’ll work through the past wounds and painful experiences that have become barriers to the fulfilling and balanced life you deserve. And we will honor your natural strengths, core values, and intersecting identities every step of the way. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment where you can embrace vulnerability and explore yourself deeply. I'll hold space for you to cry, vent, or curse it all — while helping you dismantle unhelpful patterns, set healthier boundaries, heal past wounds, and embrace your most authentic self.
