Hi, I am Laura Ellsworth. Thank you for taking your time to visit my website. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. I have over 18 years experience as a therapist and have provided a wide array of mental health services which include:
- Counseling (Adults & Children)

- Adoption Studies
- Expert Testimony
- Television & Radio Interviews

My book, “Choosing to Heal” focuses on the treatment and impact of child sexual abuse. It is recommended to clinicians, teachers, medical professionals, legal service providers, parents and sexual abuse survivors. I am dedicated to helping children, families and adults heal from a crime against their dignity, self-respect and that robs them of an innocence that cannot be replaced. What can occur through healing is the understanding that they can lead normal, happy and productive lives if they choose. I have witnessed people making decisions to thrive and no longer be held captive by their fears, negative self-beliefs or self-damaging behavior choices. I do not judge a person’s attempt to heal; I believe everyone does the best they can at any given time. What I am willing to do is help people determine what they want different in their lives and develop a plan to create new ways of coping. This goal also applies to my therapeutic work with other issues involving relationships, self-esteem and parenting.
