Meet Our Team of Therapists

Laura Villaverde, MA, LMFT

Specialty Areas: Couples Therapy, Individual Therapy for Young Adults, Sex Therapy

In Person in Monticello and Edina/Virtual Appointments

I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist who works with young adults, couples, and families to create meaningful change. My approach integrates attachment-based therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients deepen self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity.

Whether you are seeking to improve communication in your relationship, heal from past hurts, explore intimacy and sexuality, or address anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. I have experience working with clients across the lifespan and value the unique stories and strengths that each person brings.

In couples therapy, I help partners rebuild trust, increase emotional connection, and break out of cycles of conflict. In sex therapy, I offer a safe and open environment to address sexual concerns, enhance intimacy, and work through barriers to sexual well-being. In individual therapy, I partner with you to understand your patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and foster lasting personal growth. I have extensive experience working with trauma in various levels of care.

I offer in-person sessions in both Monticello and Edina, as well as telehealth sessions for clients throughout Minnesota. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you toward the changes you want to see in your life and relationships.
