I can’t express how helpful Laurie has been. This has been the biggest year of development and growth which I am proud of, and I attribute so much of it to Laurie’s guidance, advice, and support. She is very responsive throughout the week between sessions and is proactive about reaching out to me/sharing resources. So grateful for her and accessible therapy in general. Go to therapy, and go to Laurie! <3

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Understanding and empathizes with my current issues. Helps me dissect them and prepare for the future. Helps me stay on track with what I need to unpack. Great therapist

Reviewed June 2023

Laurie is the most pragmatic therapist I've ever worked with and the first one that I've actually looked forward to engaging with. She gives you space to speak but asks the questions to get at the core issues and then sets about approaching that issue to get real movement through it. It can be painful, but for me the progress has been undeniable. You can expect accountability, a unique perspective, and a partner if you are ready to put in the work to make a change.

Reviewed June 2023

I love working with Laurie. I’m also a therapist and it’s taken me some time to find a therapist that I like and that can offer me new perspectives that I can’t see on my own.
