Laura Tyson

I became a therapist after a previous career in journalism and writing, during which I worked overseas for many years. I was fascinated by people's stories and inspired by their resilience. The desire to understand people’s struggles and to help them overcome them and thrive, ultimately led me to a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers. I’ve worked with people from all walks of like before starting my psychotherapy practice. I love what I do and I’m inspired by my clients every day!

I work with teens and adults who are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, unmotivated. I also work with transgender, non-binary, gender fluid, and lesbian and gay youth and adults. I offer a confidential, solution-oriented approach to reboot your life and become your best self. I can help you uncover your inner strengths and find your way to a place of healing, hope and calm. Healing happens in a judgment-free safe space where you can be completely open and honest.

When starting with a new client, I invest time to find out why you are coming into therapy now, what motivates you to want to change, and what you hope to achieve from therapy. I listen for what strategies you've tried, and what is holding you back from achieving your goals. I identify your strengths and resources; provide empathy and new perspectives; and rebuild your self-esteem and hope. With creativity, persistence, and support, you can succeed in your goals.
