Laura Ege

Hello! My name is Laura Ege, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with clients across California via telehealth. I work primarily with mid-career professionals and specialize in trauma treatment, anxiety, depression, chronic stress/burnout, and workplace and relationship issues. I use a holistic approach, incorporating mindfulness, nature, and the body (somatics), to help my clients process their current distress and begin to heal and grow to reach their full potential. I am trained in Ecotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Trauma Treatment, and Integrated Somatic Trauma Therapies. My therapy approach is trauma-informed and varies based on the needs and preferences of each client. I believe that integrating all parts of a person - mind, body, and spirit - is the most effective path to healing and growth. I help clients identify belief systems and patterns that keep them stuck, develop more holistic coping tools, and build on personal strengths to move forward. My communication style is calm, approachable, compassionate, empowering, and judgement-free. My journey to become a therapist is part of a lifelong mission to facilitate healing and wholeness in the world, for individuals and in families and communities. Throughout prior roles as a career and life coach, social worker in the child welfare field, and nonprofit program manager, I have always been drawn to helping people navigate difficult times, heal from traumatic experiences, and grow into their full potential. Trauma became a particular area of focus for me as a therapist after engaging in the work to heal my own past trauma and noticing in my work with clients that common mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues were often responses to unresolved traumatic experiences. I believe that meeting with a therapist shouldn’t add more stress to your life. I offer flexible scheduling and secure video sessions, which makes connecting with me as easy as opening your laptop or your smartphone in a safe, private location.
