Laura Eaton

She is a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC), a neurologic music therapist (NMT), and a resident in counseling (LPC-R) working under the supervision of Carissa Martin. She began her career after graduation, working closely with residents in a nursing home community outside Philadelphia. More recently, she worked as a Music Therapist with the partial hospitalization unit at a hospital on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Laura grew up in a family that enjoys music and helping others. Once she saw that Drexel had a dual degree program, she was able to fulfill her two dream jobs in one. She works from a humanistic perspective and uses music therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She uses mindfulness-based and strengths-based practices. As someone who navigates their mental health issues, she comes from a place of authenticity. Her methods stem from her personal experience as well as evidence-based practices.

Laura sees adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. She enjoys working with people experiencing ADHD, adjustment disorder, anxiety, bipolar, bullying, depression, gender dysphoria, grief, self-esteem issues, spirituality issues, stress, suicidal ideation, and trauma.

Laura is an ally who works with LGBTQ+.

Laura is based out of our Old Town office.
