I would like take this opportunity to provide you with some information about myself and my practice.I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been in practice for over 30 years. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in individual, family and group therapy settings. I treat wide array of conditions, from stress management and normal life issues and interpersonal and family problems to more serious conditions such as depression, anxiety and other psychological problems.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 30 years, and bring an eclectic blend of psychodynamic, neuropsychological, mindfulness-based and cognitive theoretical frameworks to my work. My emphasis is on creating a safe and compassionate environment for the healing of a wide range emotional and relationship issues, making every effort to tailor treatment to the specific needs of each individual(s) seeking my help. My work with couples focues on a positive approach to differences, providing insight, improving communication and increasing empathy. I am open to referrals of individuals, couples, families, adolescents and adults from age 11 and older.

I see therapy as a powerful process of discovery and transformation. People begin therapy for many reasons. Maybe you currently feel stuck in negative beliefs, patterns, or behaviors. Or maybe you are looking for meaningful ways to change. Therapy can teach you to be more compassionate towards yourself. I feel that therapy does not need to be a long term process and encourage clients to take an active part in their journey. Mindfullness is at the center of my work and I love to share mindfulness concepts with clients.

By creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to reflect; I help individuals gain insight into their internal experience. By creating space to think together, I work to help clarify challenges that may be getting in the way of a client(s) well-being. I aim to provide my client(s) a new perspective and a deeper understanding of the presenting problem; which will create a greater awareness about the roots of their symptoms. I support each individual to set goals that are specific to their respective needs.

Hello! I am Dr. Sharon Laurenza, Licensed Psychologist. The name of my business is "BEHAVIORAL DESIGN-- Solution-Oriented Approaches To Change" as I believe you can develop the discipline needed to make the changes you desire to bring you closer to your personal and/or professional goals. I work as a psychologist who does psychotherapy, executive and personal coaching, counseling and consulting. Counseling, Coaching and Psychotherapy all help you to become more in alignment, a better and more comfortable fit, with yourself (inside and out). This is done through your work on your identified concerns and desire for change.

To live a happier and healthier life, starting therapy is a step in the right direction. Together, in therapy, we will explore the past and present and any obstacles getting in the way of achieving your current and future goals. It is important to have a safe space to reflect and verbalize changes that you would like to make and identify what you have learned about yourself and apply those lessons to your life moving forward. If you are looking for someone to be a sounding board, but also provide direct feedback and solution-focused tactics, then we could be a great match to work together in your therapeutic journey.

Despite being in love, committed, loyal, and giving - life is hard and your relationship is full of broken promises, fighting, lack of connection, ruined holidays, and stressful vacations. Your constant concern for your loved one gets in the way of the life you want in so many ways. You feel guilty for being frustrated and drained. And you're worried that taking care of yourself is selfish and may lead to disaster. But you're running on empty, and you don't know how much more you can take.

Hello! I work with adolescents, parents, adults and couples. I create a safe space for individuals to explore and learn more about themselves. I aim to understand each individual's motivations and experience. I provide clients with insights that will help them get clarity about their circumstances in hopes of reducing symptoms. I provide psycho-education about the client's behavior and help them connect the links between their thoughts, feelings and actions. I utilize my clinical experience to determine what interventions and theoretical orientation makes the most sense for each individual to help support their progress.

We all want to be happy, or at least free from emotional pain. If you're here, something in your life is causing emotional discomfort--and some part of you senses an invitation to explore your inner and relational worlds with understanding and compassion. I help adults and adolescents deal with obstacles to their preferred lives--unwanted symptoms, relationship challenges, difficulty adjusting to change and loss. My goal is to reinforce your strengths, while co-discovering with you new solutions to the issues blocking growth. I offer a creative and practical style, drawing on approaches specifically tailored to your needs.

Do you and your partner find yourselves having the same argument over and over again without making progress in finding solutions? Do you miss your partner feeling like your best friend? If conflict and communication problems are damaging your relationship, it might be best to seek couple therapy. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support and I provide a judgment-free space for couples who want to improve their relationship.

Are stress and worry getting you down? Well, take a deep breath and look no further. With the help of therapy, we can work together to find the life balance that has always been meant for you. As with all things that are challenging, the first step takes courage and vulnerability, but here you are, you did it! Now what? In our work together we will examine top stressors, identify coping strategies, reflect deeply on early experiences, and implement change. Over time, and with compassion, my aim is to support personal growth and self-discovery for years to come. My work is grounded in allowing space for my clients to be the experts.

My philosophy is to empower my patients to be helpful and compassionate towards themselves and develop a healthy way to deal with life’s difficult times. Therapy is about personal connection, and my first goal is always to provide a safe, comfortable environment for my patients.

The Recovery Without Walls approach transcends the current treatment model for addiction and chronic pain. We integrate pharmacological expertise, personalized care, and tireless patient advocacy to promote healing that extends through all aspects of your life.
