Meet Laura Brentnell
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in both outpatient and in-home settings. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is developing a trusting relationship that allows us to partner together to help you make the changes and achieve the goals you set for yourself. I provide a safe space with compassion, empathy and understanding. Each person is different, and therefore everyone’s journey through therapy is unique.
I specialize in trauma informed therapy with all ages and play therapy with young children. I’m trained in trauma therapy including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), play therapy techniques including Child-Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strengths-based and person-centered approaches, psychotherapy, and mindfulness. I’m a TF-CBT Clinician trained through the NC Child Treatment Program, and I am trained in play therapy through a Play Therapy Graduate Certificate at UNC-Charlotte.
