Laura Langley, LMFT

Laura Langley, LMFT, is the founder and director of Be Well Counseling, Inc., where she provides individual, couples, and family therapy in a warm, grounded, and collaborative environment. With over a decade of experience in mental health care, Laura specializes in supporting high-achieving, high-performing individuals who, for one reason or another, have hit a roadblock.

 

Her clients often appear successful and capable on the outside — professionals, students, athletes, creatives, and caregivers who are used to pushing through. But internally, they may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or burned out. Laura’s work centers on helping these individuals reconnect with themselves, process what’s getting in the way, and develop sustainable ways to move forward without abandoning their needs.

 

Laura holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Muhlenberg College and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Irvine, CA.

 

Her clinical journey began in advocacy work — first as a sexual assault crisis counselor, and later as a shelter advocate for survivors of domestic violence. These formative roles instilled in her a deep respect for resilience, as well as a trauma-informed lens that continues to shape her practice.

 

Over the years, Laura has worked in a variety of treatment settings, including residential and outpatient programs for chemical dependency, trauma recovery, and dual-diagnosis care. She has facilitated intensive outpatient programs, designed group therapy curricula, led family education groups, and provided individual support for clients navigating complex emotional and behavioral health needs.

 

Prior to founding her private practice, Laura served as a specialty therapist at PACE Recovery and later at Hoag Hospital, where she facilitated their Evening Intensive Outpatient Program for professionals in recovery. She has also held roles as a behavioral case manager and trauma therapist, gaining extensive experience in supporting young adults, professionals, and families alike.

 

Laura’s clinical style is integrative, blending psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic approaches with mindfulness-based practices. Her work emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and the cultivation of insight and self-compassion.

 

Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, Laura creates a space where clients feel supported, seen, and empowered to reconnect with their values and move toward meaningful change.
