Dr Laura Kreiselmaier, PhD

Psychotherapist

“Helping people navigate complicated relationships, move through pain and confusion, and better understand their personality.”

About Me

I help individuals untangle complicated relationships, guiding them through confusion and emotional pain. Together, we can explore recurring patterns and gain clarity about your unique personality. My aim is to create a safe space where you can make sense of challenges and build stronger connections. This approach is ideal for those seeking deeper self-awareness and more fulfilling interactions in their lives.

Approach

When old patterns surface in relationships or faith feels tangled with emotion, I help you trace how history, body sensation and belief shape present choices so you can make different ones. Sessions in my Nashville office (conducted in English) move at a careful, conversational pace where we name reactions, link them to past hurts, and experiment with new ways of responding between meetings. I bring attention to both feeling and meaning, and we set practical steps you can try outside therapy. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking clearer boundaries and steadier connections.
