Thrive as a Leader
Mental Health Solutions for Founders
Shift from overwhelm and exhaustion to ease and expansion while building a business you love!
I've worked with










Trying to run a thriving business, but are overwhelmed by it all?
Maybe work is taking over life, and your intimate relationships are in trouble. Or you have the career of your dreams, but you’re crippled by self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and can’t enjoy any of it. Or maybe it’s time to grow your business, but you have no energy left to take it to the next level.
You started this company to find freedom, but you’re drowning in the everyday operations and responsibilities to other people. In other words, your life is the textbook definition of burnout and you’re ready for a change!

"I don't just facilitate change, I empower you to trust yourself deeply and reclaim the spark and enthusiasm you originally had when you started your business."
~Laura Shook Guzman

I can help because I’ve been in your shoes.
As a founder, I experienced stress on my marriage and relationships, a crisis in confidence, and high levels of burnout– ironically while building a wellness center. Now, with 25 years of experience as a therapist and coach, I have learned proven psychological strategies to help you recover your energy and find solid ground again. Let me show you how.
This week, a one-hour session with Laura helped me process a traumatic incident that would have probably hung around for weeks or months otherwise. Her caring, yet no-nonsense approach is so reassuring. To be honest, you don't have to fully understand the process of somatic awareness and healing. For me, that's the beauty of it - we KNOW things from the neck down! And Laura's session helps get our intellect out of the way so healing can begin in your whole person.

Work With Me
Typically I work with clients anywhere from a few months to the course of their career. I’m not just a therapist– I’m a part of your advisory board, and help support your mental health during the ebbs and flows of being an entrepreneur.
Clients who work with me often report a renewed sense of compassion for themselves, deeper understanding of their harmful patterns and the tools to navigate them, and an increase in self-awareness that benefits both themselves and their relationships. They feel more connected, both to their team, themselves, and their loved ones. Overall, clients learn to inherently trust themselves and their abilities, no matter what life throws their way.

Coach and therapist
I am your guide to navigating the overwhelming world of entrepreneurship with grace and resilience. My coaching style stands on a foundation of 25 years of experience as a therapist and coach, pairing that with my own personal journey as a founder. I know deeply the stress, self-doubt, and burnout founders often face, as I've faced them too, and I'm here to help you overcome them.

What Others Say
Laura’s energy and vibe are super supportive and additionally I love the way she brings in all her expertise to guide me through the ups and downs. Not to necessarily solve the problems/symptoms but to go deeper into helping me to understand “the why” behind what I’m feeling.

Individual Coaching Client
I had one of the biggest breakthroughs I have had in many years, even though I do daily meditation, energy work and walk the spiritual path. I have had several sessions with Laura over the past month and I felt so safe and secure with super clear, spot on information coming through. She pinpointed something huge that I was able to shift and expand upon immediately. I love the balance of guidance Laura gives for self discovery and on so many levels. She has a beautiful and natural blend of Somatic Psychotherapy along with her innate healing gifts and vast entrepreneurial experience to pull from.
