Meet Dr. Laura
Hello there, I’m Dr. Laura. Welcome to Compass Psychological Services!
I am passionate about helping my clients obtain quality and effective care in a warm, trusting, and collaborative environment.
My private practice fills several gaps that I see in psychological care in the Tampa area: boutique care for professionals and distance counseling for college students around Florida that require a higher level of care than their college counseling center can offer.
I provide in-person and teletherapy services to individuals (teens to older adults), couples, and families. I have specialty training in the following areas: trauma, mood concerns (depression, bipolar disorder I/II, and anxiety), identity and confidence issues, life transitions, and grief.
As a psychologist in Tampa, I have focused training to work with couples (Gottman Level 1 certified) and individuals (Cognitive Processing Therapy certified & PEERS, young adult certified). I currently accept the following insurance: Aetna and United Health.
In addition to working with my amazing clients in private practice, I have taught as an adjunct professor in the clinical psychology doctoral program at Florida School of Professional Psychology at National Louis University-Tampa, teaching couples and family therapy assessment and other foundational courses such as ethics.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, writing, and traveling.
