Alaura Hobbs, lmhc
ABOUT
Alaura Hobbs, LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, emotional regulation challenges, ADHD/Autism-related concerns, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients rediscover balance and confidence through a compassionate, person-centered approach that blends evidence-based practices with a holistic understanding of the mind–body connection.
Alaura integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Gestalt- and Jungian-inspired depth work. This integrative style helps clients build self-awareness, understand their emotions, reduce overwhelm, and connect more deeply with their authentic selves.
For child clients, Alaura incorporates play therapy techniques to support emotional expression, self-regulation, and developmental growth in a way that feels safe, engaging, and age-appropriate.
Certified as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), Alaura offers neurodivergent-affirming support for individuals with ADHD or Autism traits. She uses a strengths-based perspective that fosters communication, resilience, and self-acceptance for clients and families.
EDUCATION
Alaura earned her Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Denver. Her academic foundation bridges psychology and the biological sciences, supporting her holistic view of how emotional, physical, and environmental factors influence well-being throughout development.
EXPERIENCE
Alaura has provided therapy across school-based programs, community mental health, and private practice settings. Her experience includes individual therapy, group work, psychoeducational support, and collaboration with caregivers and educators to promote emotional growth and learning.
She has additional training in TF-CBT, CBITS, and the FACETS Neurobehavioral Model; however, her current practice focuses on emotional wellness, anxiety, stress, neurodivergent-affirming care, and mind–body integration. Alaura’s background in HR and organizational wellness enhances her ability to support professionals managing stress, compassion fatigue, and workplace challenges.
Her approach is warm, steady, collaborative, and growth-oriented—empowering clients to reconnect with themselves, build emotional balance, and renew from within.

🌿 My Approach
My approach is calm, steady, and supportive. I help children, teens, and adults slow down, understand their emotions, and build practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable. I blend CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and mind–body awareness to create a balanced, integrative experience. Sessions move at your pace, focusing on clarity, emotional regulation, and real-life strategies that fit your unique needs. My goal is to provide a grounded space where you feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful change.
🌿 Why Work With Me
Clients come to me when they want a therapist who is warm, intuitive, and genuinely invested in their growth. I offer a collaborative style that honors your individuality—whether you’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, or neurodivergent experiences like ADHD or Autism traits. I bring a strengths-based, neurodivergent-affirming perspective that helps you or your child feel understood without judgment.
With a holistic foundation, evidence-based tools, and a calm, grounding presence, I focus on helping you build emotional balance, healthier routines, and a stronger connection to yourself. If you’re seeking supportive, practical guidance that feels empowering rather than overwhelming, you’ll find a steady partner in me.
