Laura DuPre, LCSW-A

Hi! My name is Laura and I am an outpatient therapist with Blue Ridge Treks. My therapeutic approach is rooted first in safe and supportive relationships, acknowledging the person and how their life circumstances and the greater society impacts their experience.

My work with others is trauma informed and has an emphasis on the mind-body connection for both its healing effect as well as supporting an individual to be their most embodied self- comfortable to live in the fullest expression of who they are.I implement many evidence-based interventions to meet participants where they are at and utilize both traditional and creative therapeutic approaches to help others feel seen, encouraged, and capable.

Some of the interventions I use include mindfulness, CBT, exploration of self, motivational interviewing, IFS/parts work, breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as a variety of somatic interventions. I am office based and also do walk/talk style of therapy for folks. I enjoy working with motivated children, families, and adults who are willing to try!

It’s an honor to be in the position of holding space for another, and I truly believe every person holds great wisdom and gifts within.
