Hello! I'm Laurel, a psychotherapist living in Brooklyn, NY. I have a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University with a focus in Advanced Clinical Practice. As a former teacher, I have ten years of experience supporting kids, teenagers, young adults, and families through life's challenges, and I am passionate about supporting people through the ups, downs, learnings, and growth of life.
I believe that therapy starts with the relationship, and I work collaboratively to identify what matters to you! I use a strengths-based approach to explore your experiences, thoughts, behaviors, and goals, and we work together to create actionable steps towards healing.
I am passionate about supporting young people and adults through the many transitions of life, and I have extensive experience working with depression and anxiety symptoms.
Our first session will be about getting to know each other! It's important to me that you feel that I'm your right-fit therapist so we'll work together to explore what is bringing you to therapy and your goals for our time together. Then we'll start to plan out some small steps towards them!
