About

Laurie Monroe – Founder, Facilitator

Laurie Monroe MSW, LCSW, has been working with women and families for over a decade. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from Humboldt State University, a Master’s of Social Work with an emphasis in Child and Family Services from Sacramento State University, and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Laurie is a psychotherapist in private practice at Coast Counseling in Eureka, California. Her theoretical orientation is eclectic, holistic, feminist, solution-focused, strength-based and centered on the family therapy model. Laurie believes that her role as a therapist is to assist others to increase awareness of their own power to heal, sustain, and grow in response to life challenges. Areas of specialty include: sexual abuse/assault, child abuse/neglect, domestic violence, grief and loss, divorce, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and alcohol/chemical dependency. Besides her personal experiences as a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, Laurie’s employment history includes: 7 years at the Humboldt County CWS Children’s Shelter, 6 years at Catholic Charities Counseling Agency, 2 years at CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Humboldt, 2 years at Redwood Coast Regional Center (working with people who have Developmental Disabilities), and 2 years at Humboldt Women for Shelter (now Humboldt Domestic Violence Services). It has been her personal experience and professional observation that the need for inner healing is often of critical importance in maintaining sobriety, health, and happiness. Laurie invites you to help her celebrate 25 years of sobriety during the Healing the Inner Goddess Retreats in 2009.

Healing the Inner Goddess is an all inclusive retreat that offers a unique opportunity for women to move beyond healing from trauma. Many women who have experienced trauma spend their entire lives burdened by symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Their personal relationships suffer and they have diminished capacity for happiness. Many women self-medicate and end up with alcohol and/or chemical dependency issues. Residential and out-patient substance abuse treatment programs, 12-step groups and psychotherapy offer support and structure in which sobriety may be obtained. Many women are able to reach this important milestone, yet continue to feel burdened by past trauma, which may make maintaining their clean and sober for life. Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat is a wonderful opportunity for the woman who has obtained a state of sobriety and is ready for Recovery Treatment Aftercare. This inner healing retreat, led by Laurie Monroe, who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, provides a rare opportunity to LET GO OF THE TRAUMA and RECLAIM OUR POWER!

Healing the Inner Goddess is a Clean and Sober Retreat. All women with a history of trauma and a desire for healing are invited to sign up for the Healing the Inner Goddess Retreat. Women for whom alcohol and/or chemical dependency has been an issue in the past year may be required to submit evidence of graduation from a licensed treatment program.
