I’m Laura Perry, LCSW, a trauma-informed therapist specializing in interpersonal violence, coercive control, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from living in survival mode—anxiety, hypervigilance, self-doubt, difficulty trusting, and the sense that their nervous system is always “on.” My goal is to help you feel grounded, safe, and more like yourself again.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Simmons University, with specialized training in trauma and interpersonal violence. My clinical background includes community mental health, in-home therapy for youth and families, attachment-focused work with caregivers, and counseling for women recovering from addiction and trauma. I also worked in a domestic and sexual violence agency supporting survivors from diverse backgrounds.

In therapy, I bring a warm, collaborative approach that blends insight with practical tools. I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy, and I offer specialized trauma treatment. I hold certifications in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (University of Pennsylvania) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT).

I provide telehealth therapy for clients in New Jersey, Arizona, and Nevada, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ community.
