Swipe ➡️ for a free resource to help you begin your healing journey.

Hi, I’m Dr. Laura Anderson (PhD, LMFT). I’m a therapist, coach, writer, and educator, and I specialize in complex trauma—especially religious trauma, high-control religions, and adverse religious experiences.

I work to support those who have experienced cults, spiritual abuse, and faith-based harm.

My first book, When Religion Hurts You, came out in 2023, and I love helping people reclaim safety, trust, and connection in their lives.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Head to the 🔗 to schedule your FREE inquiry call today. 🖤

If you’re here because religion left you feeling confused, disconnected from yourself, or unsure who you are outside of belief, you’re not alone.

As an Evangelical camp kid (including living there year round!) turned youth director, I have the inside track on experiencing, participating in, and promoting the lifestyle and teaching of high demand/high control religion.

It also means I understand the various ways people are impacted by such systems and as a trauma therapist of over 10-years, I understand how these impacts can effect every area of life–even if you’ve left or cognitively deconstructed from religion.

I support people healing from religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and the effects of high-control faith environments. This can look like lingering guilt or fear around saying no, anxiety tied to authority or “doing the wrong thing,” difficulty trusting your own thoughts or body, or grief over lost community, identity, or meaning.

This work isn’t about telling you what to believe or how to live. It’s about helping you make sense of what you’ve been through, rebuild a sense of safety, and reconnect with yourself in ways that feel steady and true.

Every story matters, and I’m glad yours brought you here. 🖤

🚨 WAITLIST IS NOW OPEN!

Supporting clients impacted by religious trauma requires care, nuance, and ongoing learning.

This is not surface-level education.
It’s an opportunity to grow both clinically and personally while being supported by a thoughtful, values-aligned professional community.

If setting boundaries with religious loved ones leaves you feeling:

😵‍💫Confused
😣 Guilty
😩Like you’re the problem

You’re not alone.

In my 1:1 client work, I help people:
▪️Identify what’s theirs to carry (and what’s not)
▪️Communicate boundaries without over-explaining
▪️Rebuild relationships with honesty and clarity
▪️Honor their healing even when it’s misunderstood

You don’t have to keep shrinking just to stay connected.

If you’re ready to make space for peace, I’d love to support you.

Boundaries are built in small, powerful moments.

Moments like:
▪️Saying “I’m not discussing that with you.”
▪️Skipping a religious gathering that drains you.
▪️Pausing before replying to a guilt-laced text.
▪️Choosing silence over explaining yourself again.

Each of these is a reclamation. Each of these is healing in motion. Let’s celebrate them.
