A Licensed Psychologist in both Florida and New Jersey, Dr. Laun brings a wealth of experience to her private practice, where she dedicates herself to helping individuals overcome the lasting effects of trauma.

Dr. Laun's journey in psychology is marked by extensive training and a commitment to evidence-based treatments.

Before establishing her private practice, Dr. Laun spent two decades at a community-based nonprofit organization. There, she provided crucial advocacy, crisis-intervention, and therapy services to adults and teens who had experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.

Dr. Laun's academic credentials are equally impressive, with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
