About

Hello! My name is Laura Rossmurphy and I’m so glad you are reaching out for support! I have focused most of my career working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders, and am currently working towards CEDS (Certified Eating Disorder Specialist) certification. I can also help with anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, life transitions, grief/loss, chronic illness and pain and more. I have a warm, relational and eclectic approach to therapy and am skilled in a multitude of evidence based treatment approaches. For example, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals change their thinking and manage challenging emotions and maladaptive behaviors. I also frequently utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence based intervention which is shown to increase awareness of thoughts, urges and feelings, increase one’s ability to cope with intense emotions, and decrease impulsivity. Incorporating DBT techniques in one’s life often translates into increased self- concept, improved communication, healthier relationships, and a more meaningful existence. In addition to evidence based approaches, I also use expressive arts in my practice and am proud to be a former art educator (EC-12th grades). I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, I hold a BA in Psychology from Southern Methodist University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Boston College.
