THERAPIST

Laura Hoge

Registered Social Worker

I’m Laura. I’m a white, cis, queer social worker, educator, and community builder who has devoted most of my adult life to the work of healing and justice. My roots are in the body and in community—years of justice work, teaching, mentoring, and showing up for collective care. I’m known for a steady, attuned presence and a deep respect for the stories, struggles, and lived experiences people bring to this work.

My approach is relational, sometimes somatic, and always justice-centred. I pay close attention to the wisdom of both mind and body, trusting the natural movement toward balance that lives in all of us. Each session is shaped by co-regulation, curiosity, and care—meeting you where you are and allowing change to unfold at a pace that feels right.

Grounded in my training as a Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, I also draw from trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and parts-based work. These threads come together to support adults navigating stress, disconnection, and the lingering effects of systemic harm. I hold a deep belief that relational healing is a form of justice—and that repair begins in how we meet ourselves and one another.

As a queer person with family close to my heart, I’m especially committed to supporting parents and caregivers of trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive youth. Together, we make space for the fear, grief, and uncertainty that can accompany change, moving toward connection and affirmation—even when community or faith traditions have made that journey difficult.

Before joining this practice, I mentored therapists and social workers, wrote for national publications, and helped build communities of care through group practice leadership and peer support. Now I live and work on unceded Coast Salish lands and co-host The Living Practice podcast with Clayre, where our conversations explore how presence, imagination, and the inner revolutions of care can sustain us in complex times.
