Laura Collins is an LMSW working specifically to help others reduce, manage, or eliminate substance use through the facilitation of an intensive outpatient therapy group, Recovery Works. As a provisionally licensed therapist, I focus on mindfulness practices and techniques and the use of DBT and CBT skills to build connection and compassion for self and others. I believe that a harm reduction model is one of social justice, and I am passionate about low-barrier healthcare access for all, specifically for people who use substances. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, creating, arts, music, and exploring nature.
