My name is Laura Stokes, and I\u2019d be honored to work with your children and family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe therapy can be beneficial for anyone. It\u2019s a partnership between the therapist and the client, with the ultimate goal being improved wellness and quality of life. I draw on social work fundamentals including a person-centered, nonjudgmental approach with an emphasis on the dignity and worth of each individual client. To me, the most important part of a therapeutic relationship is creating a safe space for clients to process thoughts and feelings and being met with an empathetic response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clinical Specialities:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Children, adolescents and their families.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trauma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>School-related issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Behavior concerns.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>BS in sociology and religion from Wofford College<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Masters in Social Work from University of South Carolina, with a concentration on children, youth and their families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":269,"template":"","team-type":[7],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/113"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1227,"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/113\/revisions\/1227"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"team-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jsacounseling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-type?post=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
