Dena Laursen

Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Perhaps healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but reconnecting with the wisdom already inside you.

Dena believes your body holds inherent knowing and wisdom — you just need a safe place to explore it. In sessions, Dena provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, turn inward, and reconnect to your authentic self. All parts of you are welcome in our space.

Drawing on her background in the health and fitness industry, Dena takes a holistic approach to therapy, integrating the physical, emotional, cultural, and social aspects of wellness into her work with clients.

Dena is passionate about working with individuals who are seeking support regarding food and body concerns, sex and sexuality, and religious trauma. She also has a passion for supporting boys and men as they navigate healing and growth.

Dena incorporates somatic-based techniques and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her work with clients.

Dena holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Saybrook University. Outside of the therapy office, you can find Dena hiking in the mountains, taking walks in the sunshine, lifting weights, and learning new things from books and podcasts.

Rebecca Cohen, LCSW is Dena’s clinical supervisor.
