Laurie Talbot
I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University and am a licensed psychologist. My areas of specialty include treatment of anxiety and depression, and helping clients develop coping skills who have ADHD. I also have many years of experience working with families, particularly those who have a child with a disability.
Having worked with families and adolescents with disabilities over the past 20 + years, I have developed a strong skill set in identifying challenges and forming a treatment plan.
I have worked in both clinical and school settings, which has given me the opportunity to support children and families in a variety of settings.
First session
In our first session, we will begin to get to know each other, identify the initial goals of therapy, and collaborate on a therapeutic plan.
Strengths
Having worked with families and adolescents with disabilities over the past 20 + years, I have developed a strong skill set in identifying challenges and forming a treatment plan. I focus on helping both the child or adolescent along with the family system. I also have many years of experience supporting and treating adults suffering from anxiety.
Ideal clients
I love working with families who are struggling with navigating school and life in general with a child with a disability. In addition to supporting the family, I also offer therapeutic support to the child or adolescent as well. I also enjoy helping adults who are experiencing anxiety or depression, and need support in developing tools for navigating life's challenges.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy is a highly effective methodology for the treatment of depression, relationship struggles, and issues with conflict resolution. The focus of therapy is on your current relationships and the impact those relationships have on your current mood and overall well being. The goal is to improve self esteem, and to guide you towards mindful relationship choices.
Relational
Relational based therapy, coupled with cognitive behavioral techniques allow for exploration of negative patterns of behavior that have led to unhealthy life choices. The focus of therapy is on increasing self awareness and self esteem, with the goal of building healthier relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying negative thinking patterns, and changing unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. CBT techniques can be used in conjunction with relational and interpersonal models.
