Laura Montané Bailey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a personal and family recovery trainer. I have worked extensively with trauma victims, individuals in grief or troubled relationships, people struggling with anxiety, depression, or codependency.  Currently I am offering Telehealth sessions with clients in California and Michigan.

Another area I have focused a lot of attention on is the large number of grandparents (and other relatives) that are raising grandchildren.  In my attempts to find practical and sound resources for them I wound up conducting a 2-year research project that I turned into a book, Courageous Love: Creating Healing Circles for Children of Trauma, published in 2013.

Although I had a wonderful childhood and grew up in a loving intact family, I spent 15 years of my adult life as a single mom to 2 amazing people, who have now given me 6 beautiful grandchildren.  Family has always been very important to me and I love to see families spend quality time together.

When I’m not working with clients or eating dark chocolate, you can find me playing with my grandchildren, gardening, snuggling with my retired therapy dog while reading my Bible, hanging out at the lake or looking for adventure somewhere.  Can’t wait to meet you!
