Our Practitioners
Laurel Neufeld Weaver
MSW, LISW-S
I began my journey towards the art of healing through therapy after working in community mental health where I recognized how active listening matched with providing tools of healing and hope helped to change people's lives. I believe that individuals have the potential within themselves to discover their own healing journey. My therapeutic style is eclectic, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused care, narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy. I believe that I bring a unique voice of care in working with survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking.
I enjoy working with families and couples. I use play therapy and art as a medium of communication with younger children and teens. I work well with people who are experiencing depression or anxiety.
Elizabeth Weaver
MSW, LISW
I have a passion for holistic approaches to individual and community wellness, and I have diverse intergenerational experience. My goal is to partner with individuals in the therapeutic process to assist in developing skills and coping mechanisms as they navigate through life stressors. I work to promote self-determination and self-efficacy while utilizing the strengths-based approach. We all go through difficult times in our lives, but with the right tools, I believe there is hope for positive change.

I offer wholistic, client-centered therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed frameworks depending on your preferences and needs. The issues I work with include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, life transitions, and neuro-spicy challenges. My practice is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for the diverse ways people experience the world. This is a safe and non-judgmental space.
