Supervision for those seeking licensure

Telehealth options for Kansas, Missouri & Oregon | In-Office for Kansas

Laura Holden brings over 15 years of clinical experience to her counseling practice, which is rooted in wisdom, connection, and evidence-based approaches. She is committed to helping individuals and families navigate life’s transitions while fostering resilience and rebuilding meaningful connections.

Laura earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Washburn University in Kansas and has since dedicated her career to providing compassionate, research-informed therapy. She tailors her interventions to each client’s unique needs, utilizing a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and mindfulness practices.

In addition to her full-time clinical practice, Laura is a part-time instructor at the University of Kansas. She is also deeply engaged in community education, offering training and consultation on trauma, disaster response, and conflict management. With specialized training in clinical supervision from Portland State University, Laura provides supervision to professionals seeking clinical licensure.

Laura’s personal and professional journey is shaped by both her Midwestern roots and the openness of the Pacific Northwest, where she spent nearly a decade living along the Oregon Coast. She integrates these diverse perspectives into her practice, creating a warm, grounded, and insightful therapeutic space.

“I spent the better part of a decade living off the Oregon Coast. I bring to my practice both my Midwest values and sensibilities along with the culture and openness of the Pacific Northwest.”

“I’ve known of Laura’s clinical work for over a decade. She has always practiced with integrity and with a strong level of clinical expertise. Clinicians under her leadership at True Course Counseling, practice and follow the same principles she exhibits as a clinician. If you’re looking for a strong clinician to support you in your change process give them a call.”

“To me, Megan takes into consideration what is important in my life, and instead of suggesting removing things that are meaningful but difficult, makes suggestions on lowering my stress around those things. When she does see my growth, which is often harder for me to see, she will point out how I may have reacted to a situation or trigger a year or two ago, and then helps me see for myself the growth in my reaction, my boundaries, etc”

“I enjoy Megan's open mind and also how she never seems frustrated or unhappy when it takes me several rambling sentences to try to get to a point. She also asks excellent follow up to clarify things and does not appear annoyed when she asks if I am talking about feeling X, and I have to say no, it is more like Y. I feel respected even when talking about very difficult things.”
