Laurie Amodeo, LCSW, LAC, MBA (she/her)
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) practicing in Colorado, Laurie Amodeo partners with individuals navigating mental health and substance use challenges, empowering them to move toward the lives they envision. Her clinical approach is trauma-informed, eclectic, and grounded in liberation principles, prioritizing the unique needs of people from historically underserved communities.
Laurie’s therapeutic work is rooted in an ecological systems perspective, acknowledging the profound connection between personal and community health. She draws upon a blend of transpersonal and psychodynamic theories, expressive and behavioral interventions, emotional insight, and consciousness inquiry to support a whole-person approach to wellbeing. This foundation is further enriched by her extensive expertise in mind-body practices, including her work as a meditation guide, breathwork facilitator, and yoga teacher specializing in Yoga Nidra.
A student and practitioner of yoga and Buddhism for over 20 years, Laurie integrates embodied practices into her clinical space to nurture groundedness and expanded capacity. Her Haitian roots and heritage inspire her dedication and advocacy for community care. She has co-founded contemplative spaces centering bodies of color, including the BIPOC Meditation Collective and the Hush Harbor Community.
In addition to her clinical credentials, Laurie brings a unique strategic perspective to her work, holding an MBA and having spent over a decade in strategy and communications for major national and international organizations.
Outside of her practice, Laurie is a student of botanical arts and an herbalist, as well as a singer-lyricist, sound shaper, and writer. Her creative pursuits enliven her holistic view of the human experience.
