Laura Katz Therapy

Unlocking Insight, Healing, and Growth
3301 Ocean Park Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90405

Laura offers a therapeutic space where individuals, couples, and families can uncover the emotional roots of their pain. She blends deep psychological exploration with attention to the body’s inner wisdom, believing that true healing integrates both mind and body. Her work is based on the idea that our bodies carry unspoken stories that the mind may not yet understand.

Healing Through Generations
Many clients come to Laura feeling anxious or emotionally stuck without knowing why. She helps them see how these struggles often stem from family histories — sometimes even generations back. Laura not only addresses inherited trauma but also highlights the resilience, creativity, and wisdom that are passed down as well.

Body-Based Healing
Recognizing that trauma affects both mind and body, Laura helps clients tune into their physical sensations and nervous system responses. By developing somatic awareness, clients begin to understand how past wounds have shaped their physical and emotional responses — opening the door to deeper healing.

Rebuilding Healthy Relationships
A key element of Laura’s work focuses on attachment — how early caregiving experiences impact current relationships. She helps clients uncover unconscious patterns, such as abandonment or enmeshment, and guides them in identifying how these show up both emotionally and physically — like tension in the chest or a racing heart. Through somatic practices and mindful awareness, clients learn to regulate their nervous systems and build secure, connected relationships.

A Supportive, Embodied Path
Laura works in partnership with clients who are ready to dive into both emotional depth and bodily awareness. She recommends weekly sessions to build a sense of safety and momentum, and often assigns creative practices to encourage reflection between meetings.

Whether clients are dealing with deep-rooted relational pain or more recent stress, Laura offers a compassionate space to explore, feel, and transform. Her holistic approach helps people break old patterns and create more fulfilling connections with themselves and others.
