Hello, I am Laurie Wilson. My style of counseling is both interpersonal and supportive and I am passionate about helping others. As a therapist my mission is to help others repair the hurt and overcome life’s challenges.

My view of the human condition stems from a Zen concept of "suffering" and "transience of life." I believe that suffering is an inescapable human condition and yet a basis for growth. We all go through the phrases where we feel lost, helpless, or defeated by life challenges erroneously believing suffering will never end. In these moments, therapy can help. As a therapist, I regard my role as a guide in your life journey just like the Sherpas for climbers in the Himalayas. The goal of therapy is to get mobilized, explore the meaning and purpose of your life, and eventually get back on track to pursue what you truly value in life.

I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and belonging, so you can feel comfortable to share about difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a judgement free zone.
