Hi, I'm Jessica Lauro. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 4 years of clinical experience. I provide psychotherapy with mindfulness guidance to help clients treat, manage, and work through anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD/ADHD, panic disorder, grief/loss, marriage issues, family issues, reconciliations, divorce, self-esteem issues, and many more.

I believe that respect and care are always thoughtfully maintained as a standard in my therapy practice.

I assist individuals, couples and groups navigate their way through the challenges of being a parent, being in a relationship with a survivor of domestic violence, being part of a blended family, pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce, crisis, anger management, death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, finding companionship, sexual harassment, lack of family support, depression, stress, trauma and other difficulties. I also assist consumers with finding their way through the foster care system, child protective service agencies and identifying the rights of a parent/guardian with a child in a school system.

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

Welcome! I am an LMHC with 20+ years of clinical experience in the field. My practice focuses on the "life story" of the whole client, including family, interests, and personal characteristics.

These are my areas of specialty, along with adults/young adults struggling with life transitions, relationships, work/life stress, depression, anxiety, body image, disordered eating, and/or eating disorders.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery. I work with clients who live, work and play under a cloak of secrecy; the outside world sees them as goal-driven professionals who have stable relationships and a host of family and friends. My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.

For a long time, you have tried to "hold it together." Perhaps, you may have prided yourself in your ability to power through challenging circumstances. You have finally reached your limit and the stress has taken its toll. I tell clients to think of therapy as a navigation system. You put the destination in the GPS and the GPS guides you in the right direction. Think of me as your guide. My clients are free to choose their destination. We may take detours, and pit-stops, but we will safely, reach those destinations. It is your turn to rise. RISE from overwhelming feelings, depression, loneliness, anger, self doubt and choose YOU!

What is the meaning of my life? Is the goal just to live longer or should I seek a higher purpose? On one hand you seem to be accomplished, driven and determined but of the inside you never feel good enough and the automatic thoughts and voices in your head never cease to remind you that you're just not there yet and falling short. You've been struggling while trying to keep it all together however you find yourself exhausted and with doubts. You're always there for others putting others' needs first while you continue to be last on your list. It's time to change, this feeling has to end, and you will find the meaning of your life!
