Laura O’Neal, LCSW, RPT-S

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a certified EMDR therapist and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor. I am passionate about helping children, teens, adults, and families find relief from the challenges and struggles they are facing. My approach is strengths-based and client centered. I utilize EMDR, mindfulness, play therapy, sand tray/expressive arts, Internal Family Systems, and attachment theory. I feel very strongly about supporting active duty military members and veterans and am an affiliated clinician with The Headstrong Project (https://theheadstrongproject.org/).

I provide clinical supervision to individuals seeking licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who are pursuing their play therapy credentials (RPT) through The Association of Play Therapy (APT).
