MEET LAURA
Where science and soul meet—therapy that honors the body, nurtures the spirit, and heals the heart
Healing often begins with being truly seen and understood—and that’s the heart of Laura’s work. Laura Quintanar is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Supervisor, and Registered Yoga Teacher. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Counseling from the University of North Texas.
Since beginning her career in 2004, Laura has supported individuals and families across many different settings, including children’s hospitals, residential and inpatient programs, MHMR clinics, early childhood intervention, law enforcement, and children’s advocacy centers. Along the way, she has earned certifications as an Early Intervention Specialist, Infant Mental Health Therapist, Reiki Level 2 Practitioner, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, Kids Yoga Teacher, and Trauma-Conscious Yoga Teacher.
Laura specializes in developmental trauma, attachment dynamics, PTSD, parenting, life transitions, identity exploration, chronic pain and illness, anxiety, depression, and relationship changes. With a deep focus on somatic experiencing and integrated healing, she helps clients reconnect to their bodies, release stored trauma, and cultivate a greater sense of safety and presence. Drawing from an attachment-based perspective, she blends evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, Parts Work, ACT, DBT, and nature-based therapy with mindfulness, movement, and yoga to support holistic healing.
Her approach honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Whether in individual or group sessions, Laura’s priority is creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their stories, reclaim resilience, and move toward greater wholeness and authenticity.
✨ A note from Laura ✨
My heart in this work is to build a genuine and trusting relationship with every person who walks into my office or meets me on a video call. I believe healing begins in spaces where judgment falls away and acceptance is unconditional—where you can bring your whole self, even the parts touched by shame, shadows, or trauma.
My hope is that with me, you feel truly seen, safe, and deeply understood, because I know this is the foundation for real growth and transformation. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey, supporting you as you reconnect with your most authentic, resilient, and beautiful self.
Fun facts about me:
I bring a balance of curiosity, compassion, and a touch of quirkiness into both my personal life and my work. I find joy in exploring nature—especially getting a little lost on hikes—laying under trees, nurturing plants, and moving my body through practices like yoga, running, rollerblading, and dancing.
I’m deeply passionate about advocating for animal, Earth, and human rights, and I love spending time in the kitchen creating vegan comfort foods that nourish both body and spirit. I also believe deeply in the importance of mental health; therapy is a regular and meaningful part of my own journey.
At home in Fort Worth, I share life with my husband, my teenage son, three bonus kids, two cats, and a dog. My oldest son lives in Savannah, Georgia, and visiting him there is one of my greatest joys. In quieter moments, you can often find me at the piano, tinkering with scrap wood in the garage, or tending to small creative projects that bring me back to myself. And perhaps sweetest of all, I get to embrace the role of grandmother.
