‘It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.’ - e. e. cummings Whether you are routed in a past of trauma or pain, stuck in a present with no sense of meaning or motivation, or anxious about an uncertain future, often it is easier to stay in the security - or what’s known - of the pain or mediocrity, than face the uncertainty or fear of the unknown of change, despite it’s infinite possibilities for a better life. That you are here, bravely scratching that curiosity, deserves recognition.

Always accepting new patients. I have over 40 years of experience treating individuals, couples & groups.

Do you find yourself ruminating about your fears and frustrations? Are you having communication issues with your partner? At work? With friends? Feeling anxiety? Depression? Do you experience more lows than you are used to? Does life feel like a burden, something that is happening to you and you have no ability to move toward what you want, but rather complain and blame those you love? The past 2 years may have been very hard for you, and you feel a bit hopeless. Do you find yourself reacting to other people's statements about you? Do you argue and try to convince them that they don't understand?

Laurel is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working under the supervision of Susan Levin, LMFT47760. Utilizing an integrative approach of CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic perspectives, Laurel provides therapy through a holistic lens, aiming to see her clients from a full picture rather than just their symptomatology.

Therapy is most effective when it is customized to meet the needs of the individual and incorporates flexibility, authenticity, and a touch of humor. This occurs within a therapeutic relationship where there is trust, openness, and warmth. I believe in the inherent resilience of people and view therapy as an opportunity to build on the strengths we naturally posses. My therapeutic style is supportive, engaged, and collaborative. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I am licensed in New York and California.

My role as a psychotherapist is to accompany people on their courageous journeys of healing, discovery, and self-expression. I enjoy working with individuals who are curious and inspired to take their inner work seriously. I believe that the narratives we tell about ourselves hold tremendous power and that, through our work together, we can become more conscious of how these stories shape our lives in order to find opportunities for new understanding and meaning making. As a depth psychotherapist, I have reverence for the wisdom of psyche, the unconscious, to help guide us to explore parts of ourselves in order to become more whole.

Affordable and accessible therapy is a necessity. I have two main concentrations to my practice: 1) I work with those interested in a confidential therapeutic setting to resolve complex psychological states and feelings (such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, childhood, relationship difficulties, personal grief, fear, shame, worthlessness, and existential questions about meaning-in-life). 2) I work in a consultant capacity for individuals with prescribed short-term, career-minded professional goals (public speaking, presentations, meeting deadlines, writer's block, and management strategies).

I am passionate about the work that I do and truly believe in the benefits of utilizing DBT skills with my clients in the outpatient setting. These skills can help people with a wide range of diagnoses and symptoms, since it is a behavioral therapy and aims to regulate our emotional responses (and what we do as a result of those emotional responses), regardless of what is causing it in the moment. I want to help my clients move away from all-or-nothing thinking, find relief from emotional suffering, regain control over powerful emotions, and eventually, not need me anymore :)

My deepest intention is to grow compassion and human connection. My greatest hope through our work together is for you to know you are whole and worthy of love and belonging.

Please keep reading to get a better understanding of how I work with you.
