Laurel Thornton, Whole Brain Solutions, Interview with meddkit
Provider Spotlight: Laurel Thornton of Whole Brain Solutions, LLC 🧠🌿⚽
In this spotlight, we talk with Laurel Thornton, founder of Whole Brain Solutions in West Virginia and North Carolina, whose path from competitive soccer player to sports psychology enthusiast to private practice owner shaped her deeply brain-based approach to therapy.
Laurel combines her athletic background, neuropsychological training, and early mentorship in private practice to create a space where performance, resilience, and healing intersect. She shares the wide range of challenges her team supports—from trauma, anxiety, and ADHD to concussion recovery and performance blocks—and explains why EMDR has transformed outcomes for clients far beyond what talk therapy alone can offer.
Laurel also breaks down misconceptions about EMDR and brain-based therapy, helping people understand what really happens in the room and why it works. Also, you don’t need something major in your life to happen to get help! Everyone’s journey looks different!
With her signature blend of science, compassion, and real-world experience, Laurel offers practical advice for anyone beginning therapy—and insightful pro tips for providers and practice owners who want to elevate their work.
