Hi — I'm Laura!

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor.

Laura, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor

I'm Laura Van Camp, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor. I have a brick and mortar private practice in Florida. For over 15 years I've provided therapy to children and families, and for over 11 years I've done this work myself with my own kids.

I know firsthand how hard it can feel when we want to parent in the very best way. I know how hard it is to sort through parenting advice alongside the Bible — and how beautifully Scripture and modern science fit together when we let them speak to one another.

I also know how hard it can feel to show up with grace for myself after I've lost my cool for the hundredth time in a day (Hello, triggers...) We aren't failing — we're human, and healing happens in relationship.

The Big Feeling Toolkit exists because I wanted a place that feels like a real therapist sitting beside you: calm, honest, faith-filled, and grounded in what actually helps kids and parents regulate, connect, and grow.

You're a parent doing beautiful and exhausting work — and you're doing better than you think. You can't do it perfectly. Only Jesus can parent us perfectly. And His parenting is the ultimate model of attachment theory that drives this toolbox.

Just one clinician trying to put what happens in our therapy space, into your hands on a hard Tuesday.

With you in it,

Laura
