“Counseling is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of hope in the midst of it.”
Hi, I’m Laura Meis—a trauma-informed Christian counselor and spiritual director dedicated to helping people find healing, clarity, and wholeness through both evidence-based practices and the timeless wisdom of Scripture. I help individuals navigate life’s challenges, pursue healing, and reconnect with who they truly are.
As someone who has personally walked through deep trauma and profound healing, I offer more than just tools—I offer presence. My work is deeply rooted in compassion, prayer, and a desire to walk alongside others as they encounter the transforming love of God.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure of your next step. My counseling work is grounded in empathy, practical strategies, and the belief that transformation is always possible—no matter your story.
My approach is client-centered and collaborative—we work together to set meaningful goals, build emotional resilience, manage stress, and foster positive mental habits. I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore difficult emotions, identify coping strategies rooted in dysfunctional family systems, and begin replacing survival mechanisms with life-giving practices.
I hold a degree from the West Pacific Institute and have pursued advanced training through Light University’s programs, including a Master Diploma in Biblical Counseling and certifications in Mental Health Coaching and Professional Life Coaching.
I’m also trained in evidence-based modalities such as:
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
RRP (Relational Restoration Process)
Narrative Trauma Work
NSI (Neuro-Somatic Integration)
When I’m not counseling, you’ll find me writing, hiking, traveling, listening to music, or conquering a jigsaw puzzle. I share my time between Maui, the United Kingdom and the European Union, learning from diverse cultures and landscapes and soaking in the beauty of God’s creation as I go.
Whether you’re navigating grief, spiritual questions, relational patterns, or simply seeking peace within yourself—I’m here to walk with you as you reclaim your purpose, voice, and wholeness.
