About Laura Garrett M.A.,M.Ed, NCC, LPC, CAS

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Certified Addictions Specialist (CAS). I bring over 30 years of experience working with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, addictions, bipolar, trauma, and major life transitions.

Throughout my career I’ve helped individuals, couples, and families break free from stuck patterns, reconnect with their values, and build more balanced, grounded, and meaningful lives.

My approach is integrative, combining depth with action. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to help you gain clarity, shift patterns, and move forward with confidence. Therapy with me is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in real-world change, not just symptom relief.

I’m also the founder and executive director of Bridgeways, LLC, and the author of Creating Your Own Happily Ever After: A Realistic Guide to Developing Life Skills and Healthy Relationships. This book, and the courses that followed, reflect my lifelong passion for empowering others through education, reflection, and real-world tools.

Clients often tell me they feel both challenged and supported in our work together, striking a balance that fosters real growth. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to help you navigate it with honesty, clarity, and compassion.

Anything you can't control is teaching you to let go.

My Mission

My clinical experience is vast ranging from counselor to clinical director. I have worked in various clinical inpatient and outpatient settings, counseling, supervising and developing an intensive outpatient, relapse prevention, domestic violence, DUI, parenting and relationship skills programs.

I received my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver in 1991 and my Colorado License in 1994 and Washington license in 2018. I became certified in addictions counseling in 1994 and then went on to pursue my second Masters degree in Education from Colorado State University which was completed in 2014.

Laura is now offering online sessions for individuals living in Colorado, Oregon and Washington.

Look forward to meeting you!
