Host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C (she/her), a Baltimore-area integrative trauma therapist, started Therapy Chat Podcast in 2015. Since then she has been interviewing therapists, researchers, authors, coaches and other experts on trauma, attachment, mindfulness, self-compassion, relationships, neuroscience, creativity, self-care, perfectionism and worthiness.

Laura shares her lived experience of wisdom learned in her journey of life as a therapist who has complex trauma for the benefit of others. Whether you’re a mental health professional or not, Therapy Chat will teach you to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply and to connect with others from your highest self.

The overall focus of the show is on “bottom-up” approaches to healing trauma. Be a fly on the wall as Laura and her guests talk about psychotherapy in ways that might surprise you!
