Hello! My Name is Laurance (she/her), a WV Licensed Graduate Social Worker. (LGSW)

The goal of Social Work is meeting clients where they are at. In fact, it's so important it's a tenet that social workers swear to uphold in the code of ethics. Meeting you where you're at means that I don't teach you from the sidelines how to get out of the mud. Instead, I get in the mud with you, and we work together to find the best path, while you maintain your autonomy! 

My primary theoretical style is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, and a sprinkle of everything intertwined. I view things through a trauma and strength-based lens.

My personal interest includes baking, being in nature, traveling, coffee connoisseur, and all things folk and occult!
