Meet Laura Meader, Licensed Therapist for Women in Washington State

I'm so glad you're here

Hello! I’m Laura.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and therapist passionate about helping women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, intrusive thoughts, or simply want to feel more grounded and present in your life, therapy can be the space where you finally exhale.

I’ve spent much of my life caring about and for others, from working with women veterans and facilitating parent groups to raising my own three children. My goal is to make therapy a place where you can feel seen, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of your peace and help you reconnect with the version of yourself you miss most.

Let’s begin the conversation — schedule your free consultation today.

I love helping high-achieving women go from overwhelmed and burned out to fulfilled and balanaced

My Values -

We all need support. Stress, parenthood, job changes, and relationships affect every one of us, and reaching out for help shouldn’t come with shame. My practice is grounded in inclusivity and authenticity.

I provide therapy that is:

Anti-racist and culturally responsive
Respectful of diverse spiritual and religious beliefs

You deserve a space that feels safe, empowering, and judgment-free. A space where healing feels possible and connection feels real.
