Laura Stoesz

Empowerment and empathy are at the heart of my practice. I meet with adults and children ages 8 and up who are experiencing mental health concerns including anxiety, mood, and adjustment disorders, trauma symptoms, and social stressors. I also love to support people in exploring or embracing identity, disability, gender, or sexuality, and those supporting loved ones doing so. In therapy, you can navigate life transitions, connect with people you care about, explore spirituality and nature, make sense of life experiences, and more. You can become more yourself, love yourself more, and live a more deeply fulfilling life. To support you in naming and moving toward goals, I listen to you and offer reflections, skills, techniques, and creative self-reflection opportunities. With kids, I offer play and art therapy, as well as family systems thinking. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, experience has shown me how important it is to have access to mental health care that is supportive and affirming. I want to provide that kind of care to you! Together, we will create a counseling relationship that supports learning, growing, and even change. I look forward to hearing from you!
