Laurel Speer, MA, AMFT, APCC

I aim to co-create a relational space for adolescents, adults (young and older), and couples where you can feel steady enough to explore life’s challenges, supporting your unique story while drawing from my experience and training.

If you've been feeling anxious, down, or stuck in old patterns, you don't have to go through it alone. Whatever prompted your search for a therapist, I know it can sometimes be overwhelming. So, whether this is your first or 27th profile scan, I hope you find a moment of rest here.

I value the transformational nature of presence, empathy, and authenticity. Whatever you're facing, whether it's grief, parenting overwhelm, relationship struggles, or any life stressors, we will tailor a non-judgmental and holistic approach at your pace. I draw from relational, attachment, somatic, and trauma-trained practices. I offer a blend of therapeutic methods to co-create experiences where individuals and couples feel more connected, understood, and able to move toward what they need in a way that honors your intersectionality. These methods include psychodynamic and attachment informed therapies, somatic and mindfulness therapies, EMDR, and EFT for Couples,

Through our connection, my wish is that you won’t have to struggle alone, will feel more steady, and the door to healing will open a little wider to hope and flourishing.

I have immediate openings for in-person support in San Diego and Murrieta, and virtually for all California residents.

I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to explore more about how we might work together. I look forward to connecting with you.
