Rev. Laura Barclay, MDiv, MAMFT, is a practicing Marriage and Family Therapy Associate and ordained Baptist minister. Laura holds a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary ('16), a Masters in Divinity from Wake Forest University ('08), and a Bachelor of Arts from University of Louisville ('05). She previously worked in denominational ministry and released her first book, "With Us in the Wilderness" in 2014 about spiritual narrative and empowerment. She loves spending time with her spouse Ryan Eller and her two dogs, Gryffin and Dobby, as well as watching Harry Potter movies and talking a great deal about the intersection of mental health, the Church, and public policy, making everyone extremely uncomfortable at the dinner table. She does not enjoy having to tell all her friends to keep calling their representatives to preserve basic human rights, but hey, we are living in the dumpster fire of Trump's America...
