Supporting your growth and providing compassionate care
I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Laura Shaw, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW.) I received my Bachelors from East Carolina University in Psychology with a minor in Child Development and Family Relations. I then completed my masters degree at University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where I studied Social Work. I have been working in the mental health field since 2018, when I began as an intern, and I later worked in different departments of Coastal Horizons Center. I worked in group private practice from 2021-2024 before starting my own practice, Marigold Counseling PLLC in 2025.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy gardening and working in floral design. I have a very small floral business where I grow and sell seasonal blooms. Being outdoors brings me peace. I love spending time with family and being on the water whenever possible!
Hi, I’m Laura!
The Marigold
Marigolds are considered “companion plants”, meaning they are often planted in gardens to help attract pollinators and encourage the growth of other plants. My mission through Marigold Counseling is to walk alongside clients through struggles and help support others growth.
