Laura's Counseling Philosophy: First and foremost, seeking support through counseling is a strength!And even if you or your loved ones see it as a weakness or something scary, it's okay to be weak and it's okay to be nervous. These are normal human emotions - especially when we try something new.As a professional counselor, I am committed to a certain way of doing things:To listen, and listen wellTo be kind, respectful, and fun (sometimes!)To help you feel heard, understood, and valuedTo help you understand yourself and others more deeplyTo help you set and reach goalsTo utilize proven techniques backed by research To provide relevant information in a way that makes sense to youTo offer suggestions that may helpTo challenge you at times, in a respectful wayTo follow ethical guidelines set forth by the American Counseling AssociationThe main counseling theory that I utilize is Carl Rogers’ Client Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an unconditional positive regard for the client and a non-judgmental approach. I strive to see every client with respect, genuine care and concern, and even awe at their unique life experiences and way of being. I also incorporate artistic, Cognitive Behavioral, existential, imagery, play, solution-focused, and trauma techniques.Insurance: Laura Meeks Counseling & Therapy Services, LLC is committed to high quality services for each and every client.

How we feel and the emotions we experience are a central part of our mental health. Conversely how we respond to emotions is critical for our health, mental and physical. While they can perplexing, stubborn, frustrating, annoying, frightening and downright depressing at times, emotions are a fundamental and necessary part of brain functioning. In fact, they are central to being human.

Unfortunately societal beliefs often tells us we shouldn’t have emotions or some emotions are bad. Telling your brain it shouldn’t have emotions is like telling your heart not to beat or your lungs not to breathe, and it doesn’t make your brain very happy.

Emotions don’t always feel nice and can make us want to run away from them. And like any avoidance, short term this seems to work, we feel relieved. But inside your brain is feeling pretty annoyed at trying to hold it all in.

How you respond to your emotions is important. Research shows suppressing, berating and shaming emotions doesn’t help us deal with them at all and just creates more stress and make emotions feel even more difficult.

Naming, validating, expressing and recognising emotions seems to help us process them and help us become friends with them, rather than them having power over us. It seems to soothe those emotions and instead of adding a layer of more stress and difficult feelings, helps us deal with the ones we have.
