Wholeness Grows from Awareness, Compassion, and Truth
Our Hearts Remember the Wounds That Shaped Us.
Our earliest relationships shape the way we see ourselves, others, and even God. When those bonds are marked by neglect, betrayal, inconsistency, or emotional absence, we often learn to protect ourselves in ways that later limit connection, trust, or self-worth.
Attachment struggles can also arise from subtle forms of dysfunction—such as perfectionism, emotional suppression, cultural or generational patterns of coping, or environments where love felt conditional. These early experiences plant the seeds of self-doubt, shame, and relational fear that may carry into adulthood.
Understanding your attachment story isn’t about blaming the past—it’s about reclaiming your present. With the right support, you can unlearn what once protected you and step into relationships marked by confidence, safety, and authentic connection.
When Faith Hurts Instead of Heals
Religious trauma can occur when faith experiences—whether early in life or within adult communities—cause emotional, spiritual, or psychological harm.
Environments rooted in fear, control, or shame can distort our understanding of God and fracture our sense of belonging, self-worth, and spiritual freedom.
Healing begins by reclaiming your voice, rediscovering God’s unconditional love, and rebuilding a relationship with faith that is life-giving and freeing.
You have the freedom to rewrite your story of faith. Together, we can uncover what’s been wounded, strengthen what’s true, and create a path forward that reflects clarity, courage, and spiritual wholeness.
Sometimes the Deepest Wounds Are the Ones We Can’t See.
Covert, psychological, or narcissistic abuse often hides behind charm, confusion, and subtle forms of control.
What begins as occasional unhealthy behavior can, over time, turn into a consistent pattern that erodes a person’s sense of safety, identity, and self-worth. These insidious forms of manipulation—such as blame-shifting, gaslighting, or alternating kindness with criticism—can leave you feeling confused, isolated, overwhelmed, and doubting your own reality.
I provide a safe, compassionate space where your experiences are heard and validated, and I can help you rebuild clarity, confidence, and a sense of worth grounded in truth and love.
You were created for peace, purpose, and freedom. If you’re ready to move out of confusion and into clarity, out of self-doubt and into confidence, I’m here to guide you forward with steady, empowering support.
Hi, I’m Laura Carayas — Faith-Based Counselor, Clinical Pastoral Counselor, and Empowerment & Wellness Coach.
I’m passionate about helping women rise into wholeness and live with clarity, confidence, and peace. My work is built on the belief that healing isn’t just about recovering from what happened — it’s about rediscovering who you truly are and stepping boldly into your God-given worth and purpose.
I combine trauma-informed care with spiritual insight and practical coaching tools to support my clients in rebuilding identity, deepening self-worth, and creating balance in body, mind, and spirit. My approach is compassionate yet empowering — rooted in faith, informed by research, and tailored to the unique journey of each individual I serve.
Over the past decade, I’ve served as a Corrections Chaplain and Domestic Abuse Counselor, walking alongside individuals through crisis, trauma, and transformation. These experiences have revealed how profoundly resilient the human spirit is — and how healing, growth, and restoration are always possible when we become anchored in truth, held in compassion and grace, and supported by mindful, strengths-focused guidance that restores hope and empowers lasting transformation.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, seeking spiritual renewal, or simply ready to grow beyond old patterns, my heart is to help you move from striving to thriving — to rediscover the peace, strength, and joy that were always meant to be yours.
