Laura Laxen, MA

Laura received her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work, from Minnesota State University, Mankato and her Master’s in Arts of Counseling from Adler Graduate School. She has experience assisting individuals and couples across the lifespan. 

Laura’s therapeutic approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and validated in their unique experiences. Laura focuses on a strength-based approach and believes each person is the expert of their own experiences. Laura strives to cultivate a genuine and trusting alliance, allowing clients to explore and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace.

Laura uses various modalities including dialectical behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment, cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, and internal-family system techniques to meet the needs of each client. Laura believes building a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance is key for clients to openly express themselves and embark on their unique journey of self- discovery and personal growth.
