Laura DeArmond, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

A compassionate advocate that is constantly rooting for you to achieve your goals. I will support you and provide a safe space for your healing.

Something to know about my approach is:

I have spent most of my career working with trauma and substance use disorders. I have experience with teens and adults primarily and engage in TF-CBT and EMDR to heal these past experiences. I am also a support of client led treatment.

Together, we will:

Build our therapeutic alliance and work through some difficult past experiences to support growth and healing in your life. Engage in healthy coping techniques and empowerment of personal boundaries and positive communication so you may thrive.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have experienced past traumas and developed negative beliefs about themselves that they would like to heal. Teens and adults with mood disorders or a substance use disorder that would benefit from working through trauma.

I became a therapist because:

I have a passion for helping and being an honest and non-judgmental support. I have lived experience and want to be there to help heal and encourage.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer telehealth all over Indiana. Will be moving to an in-person location in the future. I offer trauma support and EMDR virtually in a quiet space

More about me and my practice:

I created Through the Woods Counseling LLC and the name came from working with teen survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse. Sometimes the woods can be dark and scary, but we can get through them together and find beauty in our personal journey.
