LCSW Licensure Supervision
Experience and Postgraduate Education
Laura Fonseca, MSW, LCSW has over ten years of experience working as a therapist in clinical settings. She has experience conducting assessments at local emergency departments, providing individual and group therapy at nearby grade schools, and facilitating individual, group, and family therapy at the inpatient and outpatient levels of care with clients struggling with eating disorders.
Additionally, upon completion of her masters degree, she felt there was still a lot to learn in order to provide quality therapy and went on to complete a two year post graduate psychodynamic psychotherapy program at St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute.
