Laurie Krambeer, PhD
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
I welcome and affirm my clients of all identities and backgrounds.
One of the purposes in life is to be happy and live a good life. However, daily living involves struggles and there are some difficulties and aspects of life that are inherently painful and hard to cope with. Psychotherapy is a useful way for many people to address and work on personal problems and, in so doing, create a better quality of living for themselves. I have great respect for clients who have the courage to face problems and I welcome you to call me to schedule an appointment. My training has primarily been psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and family systems. I believe that therapy should be tailored to the needs of the client. I have focused, in my work, on the treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal problems, and addiction. My practice is flexible and I am able to offer some evening appointments.
