Laura Burkhardt, LCSW

Laura Burkhardt, LCSW, LAC, graduated in 2016 with her Master’s in Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver. She joined SLV Health in August 2016.

Laura is grateful to be part of an organization that believes true health care addresses the whole person—physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual. She is passionate about educating patients on the many factors that influence health and finds fulfillment in supporting individuals on their journey of self-discovery and helping them build skills to improve overall well-being.

Laura practices from a perspective that recognizes the impact of environment and systems on mental health. She also acknowledges how past trauma can affect current functioning and well-being. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Compassionate Inquiry (CI) and uses these approaches to help address and resolve underlying trauma.

Outside of work, Laura enjoys spending time with her partner and pets, appreciating the beauty of the San Luis Valley, and rock climbing.
