Connect with Laurel Meng
You want to feel securely connected to others in your life. You want to feel empowered to navigate through life’s obstacles, with someone reliably in your corner. You want to trust in your own value and see yourself through a more compassionate lens. You deserve to feel seen and heard for all that you bring to this world and accepted for the myriad of identities that you inhabit. I can help you build self-compassion, improve your communication skills, and get more in touch with your emotional experiences.
Through deep exploration of past and present relationship dynamics, I help my clients engage in the hard work of building relationship security. As a relational therapist, I am committed to taking an open, authentic, and engaging approach to understand your strengths, needs, and values.
I use a queer-affirming and intersectional lens, and specialize in working with people around trauma, relationships (of all structures), sex, bi-/multi-cultural identities, anxiety, and depression. I am a child of immigrants and I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese. I invite you to ask any questions you have to see if we would be a good fit for working together.
