Laura Alfonso brown, lpc
My name is Laura Alfonso Brown, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Carnegie Mellon University and my Master of Arts from Dallas Theological Seminary. I have worked in numerous settings, including a children’s advocacy center, a partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program, and private practice. I have experience with play therapy, group therapy, and individual therapy. I am bilingual and able to offer sessions in Spanish or English. As a Cuban-American, I have additional familiarity with multicultural contexts and Hispanic culture.
I am passionate about helping clients express feelings, adopt helpful thought patterns, and achieve meaningful change. I take a holistic view of counseling, and my approach is responsive toward the unique needs and strengths of every client. Issues with mental health can make life feel small and limited. I want to partner with you to build a big life, filled with the opportunities and experiences that matter most to you.
