Laura Sabatini

With a career spanning over three decades, Laura Sabatini, LCSW, embodies the art of psychotherapy through her eclectic and personalized approach to mental health treatment. Since beginning her journey as a psychotherapist in 1988, Laura has cultivated a rich tapestry of therapeutic skills, blending insight-oriented psychotherapy, family systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, and clinical hypnosis to create a truly bespoke experience for each client.

Laura's expertise covers a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, abuse history, substance abuse, addiction, bi-polar disorder, marital issues, parenting concerns, eating disorders, separation/divorce, women's issues, and sexual issues. Her philosophy centers on the belief that psychotherapy at its best is an art form, allowing her to draw from various methodologies to craft the perfect fit for each individual's needs.

In addition to her extensive experience in individual and couples therapy, Laura offers a unique "Women Empowering Women" group therapy program. This insight-oriented psychotherapy group provides a safe, non-judgmental space for women to support and empower one another, reflecting Laura's commitment to fostering community and collective growth.

Laura's educational background is as impressive as it is diverse. She holds a BA from the College of William and Mary (1984) and an MSW from Smith College (1988). Her credentials include licensure as an LCSW since 1992 in both South Carolina and Virginia. Laura's commitment to ongoing professional development is evident in her specialized training, including intensive life coach training for psychotherapists (2002), specialized sex therapy training (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007), and two levels of clinical hypnosis training with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

What sets Laura apart is her ability to seamlessly integrate various therapeutic modalities. From dream work from a Jungian perspective to LGBT, gender identity, and sexual identity counseling, she tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each client. Her membership in NASW (National Association of Social Workers) underscores her commitment to upholding the highest standards of the profession.

Clients who work with Laura can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, and highly skilled therapist who responds to their needs in the moment. Her approach is not about applying a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather about custom-fitting her vast knowledge and experience to each individual's circumstances. Whether you're seeking individual growth, looking to strengthen your relationship, or interested in joining a supportive group of women, Laura Sabatini offers a therapeutic experience that is as unique as you are.
