Dr Laura Lee Copeland began her career as an Emergency Physician. After 11 years of practice she found she was writing more prescriptions for yoga and meditation than medication. Taking this as a sign that she might not be in the specialty of her heart’s choosing, she changed her scope of practice. She is now a medical psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness-informed therapies for the treatment of depression and anxiety. She is certified in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapist and has been faculty at the Centre for Mindfulness Studies since 2016.
