About our guest
Dr. Laura Spiller is a clinical psychologist who owns Heights Couples Therapy and co-owns Wellness Collaborative in Houston, TX. She specializes in helping individuals and couples strengthen their relationships and connect deeper to those they care about. After studying at the University of Houston and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, she earned her PhD in Psychology and went on to train other graduate students as a professor for 10 years before shifting to her private practice, full time. Dr. Spiller is also a certified practitioner and trainer for Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy; an attachment based and well researched model of therapy. As a couples therapist, she is inspired to guide couples to make their relationships a safe haven which they can navigate any storm. This comes from both her work and personal experience after walking beside her late husband during a 5 year battle with a rare stomach cancer. Dr. Spiller hopes to pass on the gift of making the most of the time couples have together to everyone she works with.
