Hi there!
I help clients who are ready to make changes in their lives.
I’m Laura Snyder, LMHC, LPC, LPC-MH, LMFTA, NCC licensed in South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Washington, and I have a passion for helping people like you get into a better mental space.
I’m a person, just like you, who happened to stumble into being a therapist. It turns out I’ve been helping others in some way or another my whole life.
Even as a Loadmaster in the Air Force, I was constantly the person that people turned to for help. When I was medically retired, I realized that this was my passion.
In my office, I value authenticity, welcome humor, and will probably drop an F bomb every once in awhile.
About Me
“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”
— Lisa Olivera
Why choose to work with me?
If you’re looking for a therapist who
Is going to be straight with you
Will laugh with you through the hard stuff
Will support you while you cry through the even harder stuff
Isn’t going to judge you — even through the things you’re most embarrassed about
Then I’m the therapist for you.
As a busy mom with her own business, a military spouse, and as a disabled military veteran with PTSD, I have been through some of the similar struggles you’ve been through.
While no one can fully understand your struggles like you do, I’ll at least have an idea of what you’re going through.
I’ve realized just how glad I am that I reached out for help when I did, otherwise I’d still be stuck where you are.

My Story
From a young age, I have always been the person that people came to for help. As silly as it sounds, I was even a peer conflict mediator in 5th grade. Over the years, I have come to realize that I have a natural ability to connect with others and provide genuine empathy to assist them in their healing journey.
After I was medically retired from the Air Force, I decided to follow my passion and become a therapist. After countless hours of education and hands on experience with clients, my passion became my dream job.
Now, I’m living every day getting to help others make the changes they want to see in their lives. I’m giving myself grace as a mom to two kids who keep me on my toes, working every day on my relationship with my spouse, and trying to be the best dog mom ever to my fur babies.
If you wait,
nothing changes.
The only thing
getting in your way
now, is yourself.
