LAURA CARMODY, MS, LCSW

Whether you're dealing with loss, in the midst of healing, or needing support and guidance, I'm so glad you're here. As your therapist, I offer compassion, expertise, and support in helping you navigate your path to a healthier way of being. My strongest values as a therapist include providing a safe, non-judgmental space that is full of compassion. I offer individual counseling that can help you heal, feel empowered, establish boundaries, and find more peace. Explore some of my specializations below; I can't wait to hear from you.

SPECIALTIES

Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are complex emotions involved in so many of our experiences. You could be facing the loss of a loved one, a phase of life, a pet, a job, or a relationship. Maybe you just received a cancer diagnosis, or are overwhelmed with caregiving for a loved one who's sick. People around you try to be supportive, but they just don't get it. Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you're in the right place.

I provide individualized support, helping you walk through the ebbs and flows of emotions. We will explore your feelings, unpack your grief, and rediscover hope and resilience. You don't have to face this alone. Let me walk alongside you and we'll find your new normal together.

Therapy for Toxic Relationships

Do you feel stuck in a toxic relationship, and don't know how you got here? I am dedicated to helping clients find healing after emotional or narcissistic abuse. In therapy, I can help you rediscover your self-worth and do relationships differently. Don't let the pain of toxic relationships keep you stuck. Together, we will examine the layers of your past experiences, and connect them to your present concerns in a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. I can help you understand the dynamics of abusive relationships, identify patterns, and create strategies to stop the cycle. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Counseling for Self-Esteem

Low self-worth can keep you from living the fulfilling life you deserve to live. I am so passionate about helping clients discover their authentic and beautiful selves. Self-esteem work will help you find freedom from your inner (and outer) critical voices. We will examine underlying beliefs and thought patterns that don't serve you. It is a privilege to work with clients to develop a healthier and more positive self-concept. Nurturing this piece of your puzzle is transformative, and I can't wait to get started.

OTHER SPECIALTY AREAS

In addition, I am passionate about helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, boundaries, and coping skills.

I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I use a trauma-informed lens with each client, and view each through a holistic perspective. I believe it is an honor and a privilege to be a therapist.

PERSONAL

I'm a proud Atlanta native, and thrive on the city's diversity. In my spare time, I enjoy soaking up sunshine, playing with my pet dogs and cats, and spending time with my partner, friends, and family. I also like to volunteer with local animal rescue organizations. I am forever curious.
