Laya Firestone Seghi

Born and raised in Missouri, my professional education began in clinical social work, followed by years of study in Jungian analytic methods. My post-graduate professional education has since expanded to include the latest research and therapeutic technologies. With extensive background and experience in a full range of therapeutic modalities, I have found a holistic approach that addresses the mind-body-spirit connection to be the most efficient way to facilitate lasting results.
