Laura Brickley

I believe that nearly anyone can benefit from counseling at different points in life. I offer a caring, nonjudgmental space where you can work toward becoming the best version of yourself—or simply feel less stuck. My approach is grounded in kindness, humor, and honesty, and I value genuine connection as a cornerstone of an effective therapeutic relationship. I bring over 10 years of experience working with individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges, as well as supporting their families. My background includes individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and treatment across a range of settings.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being themselves, so I aim to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I often incorporate humor, honesty, and straightforward conversation while helping clients explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop new coping strategies

In the first session, we focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope might change in your life. You’re welcome to ask questions about the therapy process as well. There is no pressure to share everything right away—therapy moves at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together we will begin identifying goals and discussing how therapy can support you.
