My Name is Laurie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I have been practicing for over 20 years and love watching people grow into their unique selves. I am here as a guide, a vessel, a platform for you to do the work so life does not have to hurt anymore. Know there is help. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker my "tools" are varied. Listening and joining are two ways to build rapport so that the work can be done within the scope of a safe environment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
After many years working with adults who struggle with anxiety and depression I have developed a calm and understanding manner for people to feel comfortable in. Building rapport and accessing what drives peoples struggles in life has become a major skill I use to create a comfortable space for those I serve.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
You know those days when you just want to scream, "Why, why is this happening?" Everyone can feel this way at times. Feeling depressed or anxious, add a trauma history and life can get complicated. There is great courage in seeking out help for one's troubles whether they be from years of baggage one carries around or an acute issue that has just arisen. I've been privileged to work with many unique individuals over the years. These folks, who otherwise may have continued in struggles, utilized our time together to find solutions and the process to heal and grow. From 18 to 100 years old, I am here for you!
