Hi, I'm Jessica Lauro. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with deep care and passion for supporting my clients as they persevere through vulnerable experiences and navigate healthy paths toward their personal therapeutic goals. I specialize in utilizing relational and evidence based modalities to treat mental health disorders with particular experience treating anxiety, low self esteem, depression, OCD, ADHD, and relationship dysfunction.
My approach to therapy is experiential and client centered. I always uphold unconditional positive regard for my clients and show up for them and their experiences with empathy, compassion, openness, and support. I don't regard myself as an expert who knows what is best for my clients, but rather someone who can help to collaborate with them to find the best path to treat their symptoms and heal toward self actualization with trust in their ability to support their genuine happiness.
I take an active listener stance in therapy sessions without pressure on the client to explore anything that is undesired in the therapeutic context. I encourage clients to peruse difficult topics slowly if they are necessary for their goals. I am dedicated to holding a non-judgmental presence as I help you achieve what mental health and relational goals you have for your happiness and betterment by gaining effective skills, personal growth, and healing.
