Laurie Woodard

Laurie Woodard, MA, LPCC, NCC is the Director of Clinical Services for Footprints to Recovery’s addiction treatment centers in Colorado. Since joining Footprints team in 2019, she has been a source of support and guidance for both clients and staff alike. 

Laurie Woodard holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University and is licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC), Addiction Counselor (LAC), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). She has also received specialized training in trauma-focused therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting.

As Director of Clinical Services, Laurie oversees all staff at our Colorado location including supervision as well as group scheduling, client concerns, and chart reviews. In doing so, she helps to ensure that each client receives individualized and evidence-based treatment. She is passionate about providing compassionate care to those struggling with addiction and works closely with her team to develop innovative treatment programs that address the unique needs of each client.

Before joining Footprints to Recovery, Laurie worked in supervisory positions with youth and adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Laurie got into this work because substance abuse and mental health disorders have been prevalent in her family, and while she wanted to avoid dealing with those hard truths for a while, the experience has allowed her to empathetically help others who are struggling. Laurie says what she finds most rewarding about her work is seeing the growth in others, though they may not be able to see it within themselves right away.
