Laura Varriale

Hi, I’m Dr. Laura T. Varriale, LCSW, a certified Gestalt therapist that works with an emotion-based treatment modality. I also utilize many other forms of treatment (depending on the client), including CBT and Strength-based therapy. I have been in the field of treatment for the past 22 years, working as both an administrator and therapist for most of those years. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults, including families and couples of all diversities.

My approach to therapy is predominantly from support/confront perspective. Utilizing Gestalt techniques, I think it is crucial for patients to always feel at ease and cared for with compassion and empathy.

Clients hopefully will gain a perspective of insight and self-care that is mainly emotional-based. They will learn to be their best advocate and understand the importance of listening to their needs met. Overall, they will acquire the tools they need for self-soothing and an overall sense of well-being.
