Laura Braswell

My name is Laura Braswell. I am 48 years old and received my post-graduate training degrees from Rutgers University and Princeton. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and I have a Masters of Divinity degree with a focus on counseling. I have been married for 22 years and have six children and many foster children. I have worked in multiple clinical settings and provided group counseling, individual counseling and couples counseling. I have had great success in working with people that struggle with depression, anxiety, loss of a sense of purpose or drive, complex parenting and relationship issues, addictions, grief and loss, adoption and fertility issues and trauma. I believe all people are capable of moving towards a place of radical healing when they receive the help, motivation and spiritual guidance that they need. Being an older counselor that experienced many things personally and first-hand allows me to speak from experience and not theory. It allows me to identify with my clients and more fully understand what they need and how I can help them. Life is not easy, but you are not alone. Your situation is not hopeless. You cannot change other people, but you can change yourself and how you let other people impact you. You can break the chains of addiction, stop destructive behavior patterns, set goals and make them happen. You have taken a first step to finding help and healing. I would love to join you on this journey and share my expertise and time to help you reach and discover your full potential and purpose in life. It is not easy, but you are not alone!
