Laura Rhodes-Levin

Laura Rhodes-Levin, LMFT, therapist and Founder of The Missing Peace Center is author of her book, THE MISSING PEACE: Rewire Your Brain, Reduce Anxiety, and Re-Create Your Life. Laura wants to help you understand your anxiety, teach you how to work with it and embrace it rather than fear it. According to Laura, who suffered debilitating anxiety for many years, “Anxiety is not what's wrong with you. Anxiety is what’s right with you. It is an essential survival mechanism. It’s the fight/flight/freeze response in your amygdala, the emotional center of your brain.” Heather and Laura talk about choosing peace without guilt, how nature can help, and practical tools to manage anxiety. They also talk about making sure we can all say “yes” to the question: Did I Live my life to the fullest? Laura makes sure we know it is everyone’s right to live a peaceful and joyful life, anxiety free. Laura also recently founded the PHEW Foundation, a nonprofit that funds Intensive Outpatient programs for patients in need at The Missing Peace Center for Anxiety. Laura has served as an expert on psychological issues on several outlets and has been seen on KTLA, Good Day LA, Fox News, KCAL 9, KCBS, KABC, and more.
