Coaching with Dr. Laura

It takes courage to want something more—and even more courage to go after it.

Whether you’re healing from the past, redefining your values, or learning to trust yourself in new ways, stepping into change is powerful work.

Religious trauma and high-control systems don’t just shape our beliefs—they shape how we live in our bodies, relate to others, express emotions, make decisions, and take up space in the world. You may have done years of deconstructing ideas but still feel stuck in shame, disconnection, or confusion. Coaching offers a non-clinical space to explore those patterns, reconnect with your body, and move toward a life that reflects your values, your desires, and your sense of self.

While many of my coaching clients come from high-control religions, purity culture, cults, or fundamentalist systems, I work with anyone seeking embodied healing and integration from trauma. Coaching with me is not about symptom management—it’s about building capacity, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and creating lasting change that honors your autonomy.

Your story is unique, and so is your path forward. In coaching, we’ll focus on what it means to live authentically and meaningfully in the aftermath of trauma. Together, we’ll develop practices, tools, and insights that help you feel more connected, regulated, and empowered in your body and your life.

Coaching

Dr. Laura’s Approach

In my coaching work, I bring the same depth and care as I do to therapy—but with a distinct focus on forward movement, integration, and embodiment outside of a clinical context. I recognize that no two individuals are alike, and so each coaching relationship is tailored to your specific history, goals, and values. Together, we’ll co-create a plan that aligns with where you’ve been, where you’re headed, and how you want to feel in your body and life.

My coaching draws from a wide range of modalities that support whole-person healing. These include Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), embodiment practices, nervous system regulation tools, and trauma-informed stabilization techniques. I also incorporate approaches rooted in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and narrative work—not in a diagnostic or clinical sense, but as tools to help you make meaning, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner authority.

Many people who leave high-control religion, purity culture, or cult-like environments come to coaching unsure of where to begin. You may feel hesitant to seek support due to past messages about therapy, or frustrated that your healing hasn’t progressed the way you expected. You’re not alone. For years, the dominant voices in religious trauma spaces either dismissed spiritual wounds as untreatable or prescribed atheism as the only path to healing. That left many survivors feeling isolated, invalidated, or more confused.

I approach religious trauma as trauma—no qualifier needed. “Religious” simply points to the context in which the trauma occurred. The way it impacts your nervous system, sense of safety, and relationship with your body mirrors the effects of any trauma that overwhelms your system. In coaching, we honor that truth while working gently and intentionally toward integration, reconnection, and empowerment. Our work is not one-size-fits-all—it’s designed for you, and always grounded in your autonomy, your pace, and your goals.

Dr. Laura does not sell packages of sessions or memberships; she believes that the decision regarding how frequently and how many sessions a person needs should be determined by the client and therapist jointly. However, Dr. Laura recommends coming weekly for the first 2-3 months and then moving to every-other week if that is amenable to the client and the work you are doing.

Seeking initial support and guidance on your path to healing?

Consider a Mini-Intensive with Dr. Laura!

This service is an intensive one-on-one consultation with Dr. Laura for non-professionals or non-academics who are seeking initial support and guidance on their path of healing.

This consultation is ideal for someone who wants to share their story with Dr. Laura, receive feedback, learn some basic skills and interventions, and receive resources that can help guide the next steps of healing. People who may be interested in signing up for a consultation like this may include, but are not limited to:

  • Individuals who want to share their story with Dr. Laura and are seeking direction regarding next steps for healing.

  • Individuals who need to dive deeper in an area they are stuck

  • Individuals who are just starting out and need a “jump start” on their healing journey

  • Individuals who aren’t really sure if they want to work with someone long-term (like a coach or a therapist) but want to try talking to someone to see what it’s like.

Participants of this service will receive a follow up email within 2 business days of meeting with Dr. Anderson outlining the plan as well as linking all resources they discussed during the consultation.

Please note: participating in a Mini-Intensive does not constitute a therapeutic or coaching relationship and should not be mistaken as medical or mental health care services.
