Plumtree Therapy - Laura Thompson-Beato

I was a teacher for many years, where I realized the power and importance of relationship. I left teaching to become a therapist, where I can make a difference on a deeper level for clients of all ages. As a parent, a past teacher, and now a therapist, I feel I bring a lot of valuable life experience to this work. My style is up front, including use of humor and compassion, where I work side-by-side with clients of all ages. In addition to talk therapy, we might also use expressive arts, play, or incorporation of other activities based on whatever the client needs. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, Client Centered & Gestalt play therapy, as well as providing therapy for neurodiverse individuals - with a gifted and ADHD focus. I also work with LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. Outside of work, I love to be outside hiking, skiing, or camping. I also love to play the piano. I've been known to play D&D from time to time, as well as Lord of the Rings Online.
