Laura Bertrand
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
License #005014
Clinical Director, WellBeing Sanctuary
Rooted in evidence-based care and integrative wellness, Laura empowers individuals to embrace their journey from shadow to light. Healing is a courageous act — one of uncovering the self, honoring the parts that have been buried, numbed, or masked, and transforming them into guides for growth and wisdom.
Just as a tree begins as a seed, pushing through darkness toward the sun, each person’s story holds the potential for profound renewal. Laura guides clients through compacted emotional soil to uncover clarity, wholeness, and the quiet wisdom that blooms from stillness and self-trust
