Laura Bonk (She/Her)

I specialize in treating all forms of trauma and have extensive experience in helping others heal from attachment and relational trauma. Complex PTSD is another area in which I specialize, more information regarding the difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD) can be found on my website. I am trained in EMDR, which is a specialized trauma treatment. More information about this can also be found on my website.

Codependency typically develops due to past attachment and relationship trauma. I also have years of experience in helping people heal codependent patterns and develop a secure sense of self. A strong foundation in our sense of self allows us to create the relationships and life that we truly want. I also specialize in treating narcissistic abuse, which is highly correlated with codependency. I am passionate about educating on the severe impacts of narcissistic abuse and helping others heal.

Anxiety can be paralyzing and can make life so much more difficult to navigate. You might feel like you are missing out on your own life, but you don’t know what’s wrong. The problem is not you, it's anxiety. I will not only provide you with solutions to help manage the day-to-day anxiety, I will also help to identify the core root of the cause. Healing the core of anxiety helps us to take back control of our lives.

I implement Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a way to help identify the internal parts of ourselves that may be causing roadblocks along the path to reach our goals. IFS helps to identify our internal parts, understand where they came from and how they're trying to help us, and then recondition these parts to help us in healthier and more effective ways.

Identifying our core beliefs is an absolute essential for true healing. I integrate CBT into Attachment therapy, which helps to give a full picture of what your core wounds are and how they're impacting your relationships in all areas of life (not just intimate).

Relationships can be extremely challenging at times, and yet, they are one of the most fulfilling aspects of life. Healthy relationships can be achieved! I am an internationally known expert in attachment styles and relationship dynamics. Please see my website for links to publications of mine.

We will all experience trauma at some point in our life. Trauma is often the cause of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, body image concerns, and more. I specialize in treating all forms of trauma and have a particular passion for helping others heal from attachment and relational trauma. In addition to PTSD, I have years of experience with Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Please see my website for more information on the differences between PTSD and CPTSD. I am also trained in EMDR.

I have extensive experience in treating codependency. I will help you to identify your codependent patterns, heal the wounds that have caused the patterns, and then help you to create a secure identity and sense of self. Once we have established a strong foundation based on who we truly are at our core, then we can begin to create secure relationships and build the life that we want for ourselves. Similarly, I also specialize in and am passionate about treating narcissistic abuse.

Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it, no matter how hard you try? Is it preventing you from living the life that you love? You are not alone. I will not only provide you with solutions to help manage the day-to-day anxiety, but will also help to identify the core root of the cause. Identifying and healing the core of anxiety helps us to take back control of our lives and free ourselves from the paralyzing effects of anxiety.
