Meet Our Intern

Lawrence Parsons, BA, Professional Counseling Intern

I am passionate about individualized care and unconditionally supporting those who need help getting where they want to be in life. Everyone has a different path. It’s my goal to understand people for the ways that make them unique so I can help them get where they want to be on their mental health journey.

I use a trauma-informed approach and have been trained in EMDR therapy. I also regularly incorporate mindfulness, breath work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques into my practice.

I’m currently pursuing a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Eastern Michigan University.

Specialties:

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Autism

  • Anxiety

About Our Reduced-Rate Services:

The Center for EMDR and Trauma Therapy is committed to creating a way to support community members who may otherwise find it challenging to receive therapy services.

Whether it is because you do not have a healthcare plan that is able to be used or if out of pocket expenses are too high for your current circumstances, we can help with this by offering reduced-rate sessions with our highly skilled intern, Natalie. Natalie is trained in EMDR and approaches all of her therapy sessions through a trauma-informed lens.

What You Should Know:

  • Sessions with our intern are set at a rate of $35/55 min

  • We do not require proof of income. Anyone who feels in need of these services is welcome to request a session

  • Internships only go for a set amount of time. We hope to bring on a new intern each year and current clients will have first choice on if they wish to continue on with a new intern. There may be a break in between when one intern ends and another one begins.
