I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Professional Counseling from Central Connecticut State University, with specialized training in addictions recovery, mental health, and rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of clients across diverse and often high-stakes settings. Most recently, I spent seven years as a Licensed Professional Counselor at Garner Correctional Institution, providing individual counseling, group therapy, and crisis intervention to justice-involved adults navigating complex mental health needs, trauma, and reentry challenges. Prior to that, I served as an Outpatient Therapist at Farrell Treatment Center, where I helped establish a new Intensive Outpatient Program and delivered trauma-informed, gender-responsive care to individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders. My earlier work with the Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut and the Hospital for Special Care deepened my understanding of how neurological, behavioral, and emotional health intersect. I work with men, women, teenagers, and young adults of any gender, race, religious background, or sexual orientation who are open to learning new skills and committed to meaningful goals in therapy. Clients often come to me seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of adverse life experiences.

I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, self-doubt, chronic stress, or the challenges that arise during shifts in identity and life roles. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to explore healthier ways of coping and moving forward. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, EMDR to help clients who feel "stuck" in present-day patterns of anxiety, chronic stress, self-doubt, and mindfulness practices to deepen self-awareness and manage stress more effectively. These tools work together to heal, build resilience, emotional balance, and self-compassion, helping you create meaningful and lasting change in your life. The impact of therapy can be transformative. Clients often leave with greater peace of mind, stronger self-awareness, and renewed hope for the future. It’s an honor to walk alongside you in this process and support you in creating the life you want.

I listen and try to understand your situation and learn what it's like to be you. I can offer suggestions but I won't tell you what to do. I believe that my clients know what they need to do to help them heal, it might not be clear right away but after I am able to understand your problems we can work together to find solutions. It's a big step to seek counseling and to go into therapy. I respect everyone who wants to improve their mental health and well being. It isn't easy to seek help and allow oneself to be vulnerable and share ones' experience. I have listened to thousands of people and I am delighted hear everyone's story to see how I can help.

I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are navigating difficult family dynamics and relationship challenges. I help clients find their voice, build self trust, set healthier boundaries, and heal from toxic or emotionally harmful relationships. Together, we work to better understand patterns, strengthen self worth, and move toward relationships that feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling. I also support parents and caregivers in understanding and responding to their child’s needs. A key area of my work includes supporting parents of newly diagnosed autistic children, providing space to process emotions and helping families feel more confident and supported moving forward.

I’m a relational, insight-oriented therapist who believes meaningful change happens when we slow down enough to understand what’s really driving our patterns. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, and relationship dynamics, especially those who function well on the outside but feel tangled or overwhelmed internally. My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. Together, we look at the emotional themes and internal narratives shaping your current struggles, not just to analyze them, but to help you move through life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

Do you feel overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks? Feel anxious or nervous about the world around you? Worried about relationships, work, or finances? These are all common thoughts and feelings that each of us experience daily. With the ever changing world around us it can be difficult to feel like you are holding onto something tangible at times. I understand everyone's paths are different but one aspect we have in common is the human experience. Being in counseling helps form a tangible relationship with a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings about the world around you. My name is Kayla Toole and I am a licensed counselor in Connecticut. I have 10 years of experience in the field and four of those years providing clinical services. Starting counseling can be scary and make you feel vulnerable. I empathize with these feelings and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for every client I meet while offering unique services to their needs. I have experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, major life changes and dealing with overall stress of every day life. I take an eclectic and integrative approach meaning I pull from different theoretical orientations to tailor to the individual to achieve their goals. Creativity and humor are a staple in my therapeutic approach. Therapy is not a one sized fits all remedy and I take the time to understand my client's and their individual needs or goals in life. I am here to support, validate, and empower you. I meet my clients where they are at and push them when needed. After a few sessions with me I strive to leave my clients with a familiar feeling of meeting with an old friend while walking away with a better understanding of who they are and the life they want to lead as their authentic selves. I am looking forward to starting the journey together!

Hi, I’m Laurie. Are you ready to explore your own inner healing and reconnect with a sense of peace and wholeness? I offer a holistic, mindful, and compassionate approach to therapy that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal and grow. In our sessions, we’ll bring gentle awareness to the parts of you that are asking for care and attention. You’ll learn strategies to regulate your emotions, nurture self-compassion, and respond to life’s challenges from a more grounded and centered place. If you experience feelings of overwhelm, stress, or emotional dysregulation, therapy can be a supportive environment to process and integrate these emotions without becoming consumed by them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a school social worker supporting children, adolescents, and families. I am also a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator through Copper Beech Institute and hold certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from The Embody Lab. My approach weaves together mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based practices to support healing on every level—mind, body, and heart. I believe that when we bring awareness to how our bodies hold emotion and experience, we begin to unravel old patterns and open to a deeper sense of freedom and peace. If you’re seeking a space to reconnect with yourself and move toward healing and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
