As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in EMDR, I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. Taking the first step toward help is often the hardest part—so I commend you for being here. I earned my Master’s degree from Arizona State University and have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. While I work with a range of clients, I’m especially passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and those facing anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that empower lasting change.

Rachel Katznelson

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona, specializing in trauma, attachment, substance use, and psychedelic integration. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and am currently completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, where my research focuses on inner healing intelligence, somatic integration, and transformation through altered states of consciousness.

My approach is both grounded and deeply experiential. I integrate somatic therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and attachment-focused interventions to help clients move beyond insight and into real, embodied change. I believe that healing doesn’t come from fixing what’s “wrong,” but from reconnecting with the innate intelligence within you that already knows how to heal.

I work well with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of—whether that’s anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or cycles of substance use. Many of my clients are high-functioning but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying unresolved emotional pain. Together, we create a space that is honest, supportive, and sometimes challenging—in the service of real growth.

I also specialize in integration work for individuals exploring or recovering from psychedelic experiences. I help clients make meaning of these experiences and translate insights into sustainable, grounded change in their daily lives.

In our work together, you can expect a balance of compassion and accountability. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’ll also help you move forward. My goal is to support you in building a life that feels aligned, regulated, and genuinely yours—not just one that looks okay on the outside.

Hi there! My name is Laurie. I’m a warm, supportive psychotherapist who helps individuals and young adults (15+) feel safe, understood and hopeful as they work through challenges. I use a trauma-informed approach and am trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), CBT, and several other evidence-based modalities. Before becoming a therapist, I worked on camera as a news anchor and reporter across several states, which deepened my understanding of people’s stories and resilience. I’m bilingual, having lived in Argentina for roughly two years. And here's my happiest trait.... I'm a mom to four adult kids and a grandmother to three!

You don't have to navigate this alone.

If you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or stress, you've already taken the first step by searching for help. I'm here to make the next step easy.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping adults break free from patterns that no longer serve them. My primary modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) an evidence based therapy proven to help the brain process and heal from traumatic experiences, even when traditional talk therapy hasn't worked.
