Hello! I am Laurie Wilson,  a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor with over 25 years of experience specializing in individual, couples, and family therapy.   I maintain a private practice in Dumfries, Virginia, and I provide online counseling services.

I am the spouse of a retired military service member and have worked in private practice as a therapist throughout the United States and in Germany.  I have also worked as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and clinical director in local government, federal government, and in a hospital setting.    I specialize in working with military families, blended families, government employees,  and health care providers on a wide variety of concerns including:  pre-marital counseling, marital issues, parenting issues, relationship stress, work-related stress, school-related stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns and transition issues.

My counseling style is solution-focused, holistic, and interactive, and I provide services that are non-judgmental and culturally sensitive.  I use a combination of treatment approaches to include: systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy,  trauma-focused therapy, strength-based, and mindfulness techniques.  I want to work with you to create a therapeutic partnership where we work together to create a treatment plan to meet your specific and unique needs.
