“Sometimes someone sits down in my office and just stares, eyes wide or brimming. Other times, their story pours out in a rush, like if they don’t say it fast enough, it might swallow them whole. It’s in those moments that people whisper, ‘Is this PTSD?’ Or say quietly, ‘I think I’m just really stressed.’
The truth is—both could be true. But understanding the difference can be a powerful first step toward healing.”

If Moonstone is Full: Referrals for Trusted Clinicians in Laramie, WY
At Moonstone Wellness, we are honored to support our community’s mental health needs. However, there are times when our clinic is at capacity, we have a waiting list, or we may not be the best fit for a particular client’s needs. Counseling is a deeply personal process—much like finding the perfect pair of jeans. Sometimes, you have to "try on" a few before discovering the perfect fit. Because of that, I want to provide you with a list of clinicians I have personally worked with, supervised, or formed a friendship with here in the Albany County community— these are all professionals I would confidently recommend to those I care about. If Moonstone is unable to meet your needs, I hope that one of these many qualified caregivers will.
