Laura White
Hello and welcome! Have you been thinking about therapy but you're not sure where to start? I'm here to help you identify and prioritize issues that might be holding you back from thriving as your best self. It takes courage to begin therapy and pursue a happier and more fulfilled life, and I commend you for taking this brave step forward! My therapy style is empathetic and respectful, and I take pride in creating a safe space that optimizes reflection, healing, growth, and fulfillment. I strongly believe that you are the "expert in you" meaning that you know yourself best, and I highly value your input and experiences in our work together. My approach is collaborative, and we will decide the agenda for each session together.

First session
In our first session, we will have brief introductions and then I will ask you thoughtful questions to get to know you and help you hone in on what your goals are for our time together. There are no right or wrong answers here, but I often find that clients who are more open and reflective will get the most out of our sessions.
Strengths
I am an empath and a helper by nature, and I truly love what I do. I aim to help you recognize your own strengths and develop skills that will help you address your specific needs and live your best life. I'd love to be an ally for you on your journey to better health and fulfillment.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
