Laura Marcum is a Licensed Clinical Social worker with almost 20 years’ experience helping clients work through grief, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder. Additionally, she has a special interest in aging and memory care. Her interest in the elderly population stems from her experience as a child when she would visit residents at her great-grandmother’s nursing home. Laura takes clients of all ages and offers Telehealth services. She is a proponent of pet therapy and looks forward to “Bernie” (soon to be therapy dog) working beside her. She resides in O’Fallon, Illinois, with her husband, four daughters, and three dogs. In her free time, she enjoys swimming, traveling, and spending time with family.
