Laurie Freeman, LMFT is a licensed family therapist with a practice on the northside of Indianapolis, IN.  She recently joined the Wellspring Center as a Partner and Owner. She specializes in family and play therapy but also has extensive experience with couples and individual clients. Training includes a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Christian Theological Seminary Training Center in Indianapolis. Laurie has also received additional training in play therapy and participates in ongoing play therapy supervision. She worked for 5 years at the CTS Counseling Center Clinic in addition to her more recent private practice.  Other counseling experience includes 2 years of volunteer work as a Guardian Ad Litem for Child Advocates in Indianapolis. Laurie is a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapist and is a member of the Association for Play Therapy. She has also volunteered for several community events including a panel on guilt for the Greater Indianapolis Jewish Federation, a parenting panel for Hadassah and a workshop for the Diabetes Association.

      Counseling is a second career for Laurie. Prior to this training she has worked in sales and sales management for Prentice Hall College and Macmillan Computer publishing. This earlier career provided much life experience to add to her formalized training. Personally, Laurie is married and the mother of two teenaged children which additionally provides a wealth of practical experience.  She is also responsible for helping her aging parents so in many ways can sympathize with the issues of many of her clients.
