About Laura
Laura Scales is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado. She began her professional life in other fields before moving into therapy, bringing hands-on experience caring for people with chronic illness, teaching outdoor skills, and supporting older adults in residential settings. Those years outside of therapy shape how she listens and responds today.
She focuses on helping people rebuild self-esteem and healthier relationships after life changes or losses. Sessions aim to identify practical steps clients can try between meetings. Laura treats mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety and stress, grief and trauma, and challenges like anger, addictions, and intimacy issues.
Her clinical background includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University in Denver and clinical practicums at West Springs Psychiatric Hospital. She has five years of professional experience working in community mental health outpatient settings and independent practice. Laura has provided intake, individual, and group counseling and has worked with many different life situations.
In session she emphasizes collaboration and the client’s own expertise about their life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match the person’s goals and strengths. The aim is to make change feel manageable and connected to everyday priorities like family, work, and parenting.
Outside of work she spends free time in nature and values activities that build presence and resilience. Her background in outdoor instruction and high-altitude climbing influences a steady, practical approach to change.
