Laura Duffy

Hello! My name is Laura Duffy, and I am licensed as both a professional counselor (LPC) and a clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) within the state of New Jersey. I started my career about a decade ago and graduated from William Paterson University's MA in Clinical and Counseling Psychology program in 2015. I have experience working with adults 18 years and over in multiple levels of care within substance use disorder treatment settings, in addition to having worked in a psychiatric hospital setting. I have been seeing adult clients (18+) via telehealth for the past four years with varying degrees of mental health conditions.

My approach is client-centered, warm, and non-judgmental. I allow my clients to take the lead regarding pace and topics, and will assist in providing tools and techniques to help you reach your goals. We can also explore any resistance you encounter along the way, and find ways to work through this together.

My clients can expect to broaden their perspectives regarding situations and stressors in their lives, in addition to identifying negative thoughts and beliefs which may be contributing to their current symptoms. We will also work on applying healthy coping strategies in addition to focusing on personal strengths and building confidence when necessary.
