Laura Cassidy, MS, LPCC-S, C-DBT

I’m Laura Cassidy, a licensed mental health counselor (LPCC-S) with over 8 years of experience helping people build lives worth living. I’m certified in DBT (C-DBT) and EMDR, and my primary focus is coordinating and leading DBT skills training programs for families, adolescents, and adults. As a yoga instructor, I incorporate movement and somatic approaches into my work, blending mindfulness and body awareness to help clients connect with themselves on a deeper level.

I’m passionate about creating spaces where people can learn practical tools like distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation, all while feeling truly seen and valued. I also love collaborating with local nonprofits like the Wanda Joyce Robinson Foundation and Fresh Start Frankfort, as well as other community service providers, to implement DBT skills training programs that make a meaningful impact. I approach my work with humanity, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. After nearly a decade in this field, I can say without hesitation: this work is challenging, it’s real, and it’s exactly where I’m meant to be.
