Laura Thornton MA, LPC
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) from Kansas City/USA working in the mental health field since 1998. I provide services in Grafenwoehr/ Germany close to USAG Bavaria-Vilseck/Grafenwoehr.
The clients I provide services for are adults living and working for USAG or international companies. I also welcome retirees and expats living in Germany.
My experience in the USA includes working in outpatient treatment centers, hospitals, intensive-in-home therapy for adults and children, school settings and community mental health clinics.
I have worked on military installations throughout Europe for seven years.
This has provided me experience in working with the military community and I am sensitive to the challenges that it sometimes can bring to individuals and families.
As an expat myself, I understand the challenges of adjusting to a new country and culture. This can lead to feelings of isolation when your natural supports such as family and friends are thousands of miles away. I recognize that relocation and overseas adjustment poses unique challenges and I can provide support in helping you with your adjustment and to learn new ways in which to cope with these stressors.
Approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.
