I have been with Laurie for over a year, and from the very first time I 'met' with her it felt like I was getting a warm hug. Since then, she has listened and guided me through some pretty intense family issues, to include kids, parents, health issues, and a multitude of daily and weekly stressors. She has give me an outlet, has given me direction, and has been there for me every step of the way. She has NEVER once judged, but rather talked me through my decisions and provided insight I hadn't seen. I HIGHLY recommend Laurie!
More about Laurie
- 20 years' experience

My name is Laurie and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State. I have been very fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings , in my 20 years in the field, which has allowed me to see how complicated life can become and how wonderful. I have worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit, hospital medical units, Neonatal Intensive Care units, I have worked with adolescents in residential care and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, families with end of life stressors and just folks who need a friendly ear. I am familiar with the agency systems that although they are meant to help, sometimes add to the confusion. I am an interactive therapist, who also demonstrates empathy and caring while working to empower you to create the life you deserve. I am solution focused and yet compassionate. I feel that the greatest gift we can all receive, is to be heard, to be able to identify our deepest feelings and to express those feelings without fear of judgement; to not feel invisible; to feel like we matter. I believe that ultimately, we know what we need in order to make a better life for ourselves but I also know obstacles will jump in and try to prevent that happiness. This is when we all may simply need some need some outside guidance for the journey . And that is how I see this therapeutic relationship; an opportunity to uncover the obstacles that get in your way of living a beautiful life. So I will frequently return to the concept of Self Love , why it is vitally important and how we can get there. Don't let that scare you! But it is the key. So, I will be your mirror. Here to reflect back to you what you may already know and perhaps to shine a light on something new you never thought of before. I tend to speak in very plain language, choosing to describe and explore feelings rather than label them. I am more concerned that we can communicate clearly and you feel you have been heard. If this kind of team play interests you , let have a chat.
And with that said, the development of that team relationship is of the utmost importance. Professionally, I feel that in order to make changes in old patterns, one must commit to the process. It is important that if you wish to change some of the suffering you have in your life, you will need to make your session times a priority. Scheduling a session weekly or bi weekly is ideal. It is the interaction between therapist and client that is most beneficial , which is why I feel that the most effective way to conduct a session is by either video or phone with a live chat being the last choice. Dealing with issues and concerns in the moment is what this work is about. A back and forth dialogue is so necessary for you to get a sense of who I am and for me to learn more about you! Yes, it can be intimidating but terrific as well. I hope you take the plunge and make a really bold leap right now!! Let's work together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laurie has and continues to be a great support in helping me sort through thoughts and feelings around grief. She helps me find ways to think about things differently and to be more loving to myself than I’ve ever been in the past. Her gentle, kind, and practical manner always leave me in a good place at the end of each session.
Laurie is an amazing therapist! She is in tune with what is going on, and can read me like a book! It is really great to be able to discuss life with Laurie. It has really been a great experience working through some of the most difficult things with Laurie! I highly recommend her!
Speaking with Laurie is like getting a warm hug from a friend who wants nothing but the best for you and for you to be a better version of yourself. She is quite literally a port in the storm!

Laurie's support and insight have been greatly helpful for me. I feel stronger and more capable in life with Laurie's guidance in my mind. I'm grateful for her.
Laurie is kind, calm, and understanding. She shares her wisdom and helps me discover ways to navigate my feelings and what’s happening in my everyday life. I’m so glad I get to work with her and I highly recommend Laurie if you’re an empath/highly sensitive person or struggling with grief, divorce, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and/or spirituality issues.
Laurie is wonderful. She makes it very easy to open up and feels like you are talking to an old friend. She’s made my therapy experience wonderful.
Laurie feels like a friend. She listens is kind, thoughtful, sensitive, and encouraging. I leave every session feeling better. She gives me different perspectives to look at my life challenges, and positive, useful tools to practice getting healthier with my thoughts and self-talk in my daily life. I'm navigating through a season of complicated grief and am so grateful for Laurie as she supports me through it. I highly recommend her, especially to other HSPs and Empaths, creatives, INFJ and Enneagram 4 types, like myself.
Laurie is a wonderful and truly empathetic therapist. She not only takes time to understand your concerns, but offers genuine solutions and practical advice. I feel better equipped with the skills she has taught me thus far. Highly recommend Laurie!
