Not currently accepting new clients. I see a wide variety of individual and couples clients who hope to improve their circumstances (ages 15-99). Most of my clients have experienced some form of past hurt or other struggle. I work to manage conflict, disappointment, hurt feelings, sadness, grief, loss, or other strong emotions. My approach is empathic/patient but directive. My strategies are adapted from my experience with trauma (CPTSD), attachment, family dynamics, codependency, toxic shame, grief and loss, parent-child relationships (incl. estrangement), premarital counseling, life transitions. View 4 Photos I use a multi-dimensional approach, that accounts for your current dynamics within the context of your life history. With a clear understanding of the impact of development, toxic shame, trauma, grief, and communication patterns I can help you learn about what is not working in your life and determine how to find contentment. www.counselinglawrence.com It is not always easy to start something new, and not all therapy experiences are the same. I welcome you to give me a call to simply discuss how I might help. I work very collaboratively with my clients and I do not believe that calling me is a "wrong first step", even if we do not work together in the end.
