Laura Legand MSW LGSW
Welcome, I’m Laura! I support children aged 10+, adolescents, young adults, and parents navigating ADHD and varied cognitive profiles, alongside accompanying anxiety, depression, and sensory or emotional sensitivity. Therapy with me is flexible, conversational, and collaborative.
Finding your way through life begins with understanding yourself. Yet, external messages can easily disrupt our internal guide, leaving us to wonder, “How do I actually feel about this?” I believe your perspective deserves to be understood safely within your unique lived experience, including how you process information and connect with your emotions.
During our time together, we make room for whatever matters most to you, whether that is navigating relationship patterns, managing burnout, or getting to know your own internal voice. Your thoughts on these topics might arrive as wide, abstract concepts or as structured plans and ideas. Together, we’ll gently loosen the tangles and soften the sharp edges so those thoughts feel easier to hold. Through deeper self-attunement and practical strategies, you can begin to trust your decisions, advocate for yourself, and move through your days with increased agency.
Therapy with me offers:
A safe, judgment free and compassionate space that supports your brain and nervous system.
Patience to develop a trusting and authentic therapeutic relationship.
Lived experience and training to provide comprehensive support for ADHD and varied cognitive profiles.
A collaborative, gentle blend of emotional recognition and actionable strategies.
About Me
My approach draws from evidence-based practices such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, and I am committed to providing an identity-affirming, anti racist, culturally humble, and trauma-informed space. My work with ADHD and neurodivergence is grounded in comprehensive training and informed by ongoing learning alongside the work of ADHD researcher Dr. Russell Barkley and autism advocate Dr. Temple Grandin.
Outside of therapy, I work as an elementary school social worker and bring a background in restaurant management. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing with my cat, drawing pokemon, being active in nature, and exploring new endeavors.
