Laura Petitti

Offering In-Person Sessions

My name is Laura Petitti and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervision Designation (LPCC-S). I am EMDR Trained through The Institute for Creative Mindfulness and I am working toward my EMDR Certification. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from John Carroll University and four years of doctoral level education from Capella University in Counselor Education and Supervision. 

I have experience in counseling those from ages 14 and up. I utilize several therapeutic modalities and techniques to help my clients decrease uncomfortable symptoms and get them to a place of optimal functioning. I work from a humanistic and strengths-based perspective, which allows my clients to tap into their internal resources and experiences to address difficult moments. I find that this assists clients in making lasting change in their lives. I believe in a collaborative relationship to help my clients develop a path toward their goals.

While I have worked with a variety of different people and concerns in my career, I often work with adults and teens who have experienced trauma. I’m skilled in the area of grief/loss, dissociation, dissociative disorders, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, and borderline personality disorder. I also love the opportunity to provide a safe and validating space for the LGBTQI community. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, exercising, playing the tambourine in a classic rock cover band, and spending time with my husband, two adult children, a dog named Six and a Cat named Seven.
