Laura Jarvis Brackett, MEd, LPC, LCPC, NCC

Trauma Therapist & Educator

Welcome, and way to go on looking for support!

I am a St. Louis-based Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in supporting adults who have been through trauma. As a trauma survivor myself, I understand the ways it can impact our minds, emotions, bodies, behaviors, and relationships. I am a forever-student, always seeking more insight into trauma recovery including the lived experiences of people who don’t share my identities as a white, cis-het, mostly able-bodied woman. My hope is to help you untangle your experiences, recognize your needs and strengths, and decide how to live a life that feels right for you. I do my best work with adults who are dealing with:

• Past childhood abuse (physical, mental, emotional, sexual, and neglect)

• Toxic or abusive environments (work, religious, families)

• Complex trauma, often diagnosed as personality disorders

• Difficult relationships with parents or the families you grew up in

• Physical and sexual assault

• Chronic pain or illness

• Medical trauma

• Dissociation

• Depression

• Anxiety

To help you get a better idea of what I’m like as a therapist, here are a few ways clients and colleagues have described me:

• Non-judgmental

• Casual

• Funny

• Animated

• Warm

• LGBTQ+ ally

• Comfortable with swearing

• Won’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do, or haven’t done

Interested in a free 15-minute phone consultation? You can reach out through the Contact Form or call my office at 314.899.0253. If I’m not who you’re looking for, I’ll do my best to provide you with referrals.
