Laura Fratangelo

I graduated from the University at Albany (SUNY) in 2007 with a BA in Psychology, and moved on to a M.Ed. in School Counseling from UMASS, Boston. I began as a School Counselor in 2010 until 2022, when I made the transition to therapy. I received an Advanced Graduate Certificate from the University at Buffalo (SUNY) in June of '22 and started in an adult mental health clinic in August of '22. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in both the clinic and private telehealth setting. .

I have a very humanistic approach to therapy. I believe that all people deserve to feel heard and supported. In addressing the challenges you are facing, having a person there to help support, listen, encourage, offer tools, and accountability can be empowering to address those challenges. I integrate skills based in CBT, DBT, and ACT modalities - to name a few - while providing a safe space for processing.

Clients can expect to have a listening ear, and be offered skills that are useful to address certain issues one might be facing. I aim to provide as much space as possible for processing through issues, while working with one to discuss skills and strategies for change where they are needed.
