“Excellent first session. Dr. Lasky called to get my background information before our first meeting, on her own time with no extra charge, so we could start on my time with a good foundation. She is perceptive, understanding, kind, and knows how to ask the right questions. I would highly recommend her.”

Getting to know Dr. Ella Lasky
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF?
worried, stressed, or depressed, you are not alone. One in four of us feel that way in a given year. There are many reasons. You might be experiencing difficulty at work, or perhaps you and your partner disagree about how to deal with your children, your money, or your in-laws. It is possible that self-esteem issues interfere with your achievements and relationships.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO?
feel empowered in your therapy, I am happy to work with you. I would like to help you move forward and live a richer, fuller life.

I will work collaboratively with you in an ongoing process.

I will help you make the positive changes you desire in a safe environment. You are the expert on your life; I will guide you in your process of improving your life, feeling better, and becoming your best self in a safe, warm, and welcoming environment, where each patient is treated with dignity, respect, and understanding. Working together, and based on my years of experience, we will clarify your goals and find unique solutions to your issues.

Dr. Lasky has been a real breathe of fresh air especially during these troubling times. This is my first time doing therapy but I've already opened up to her quite a bit because her approach is disarming and inviting. She listens carefully and provides thoughtful and constructive input. I'm very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Lasky thus far and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional to talk to.

Dr. Ella Lasky is an extraordinary psychotherapist who has supported and guided me in deep personal transformation. I came to her when I realized that I could not THINK my way out of y depression. Dr. Lasky makes me feel seen, heard, cared for and respected. She is kind, honest and has a great sense of humor. All of this has been central to my improvement as a human being. I heartily recommend her.

Dr Lasky is the best! She is a great listener and asks thoughtful follow up questions. She never makes you feel judged and offers helpful advice on how to handle difficult situations. Something I found really useful is that she is someone who is not afraid to push back and challenge opinions which has contributed to a big part of my growth. She is warm and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend her.

Had my first session with Dr. Lasky today--my first therapy session in my life. She's a very sweet, empathetic woman, and I felt that our conversation was productive (she even offered a useful bit of advice at the end that I will be looking into ASAP). Looking forward to future sessions.

I’ve now been seeing Dr. Lasky for a few months, and in that time my anxiety and depression has become a great deal more manageable. She continues to help me see and identify unhealthy patterns in my life and I’m very pleased with the insight I’m gaining. Highly recommend her as a therapist.

I was really unhappy after leaving my appointment. She told me that she normally has a phone call with new patients to make sure there is a fit, but did not have time to call me since I made the appointment the same day. It would have been courteous to cancel my appointment instead of having me waste my time.
She told me to go see somebody else since her location would be too much of a commute for me, which I found odd. Also, she only accepts cash so come prepared. She asked me to leave my bag while I went to the ATM to withdraw cash, which made me feel really uncomfortable. I will happily seek treatment from somebody else, thank you for that advice!

When meeting a new professional for personal counseling one is often apprehensive and filled with anxiety. Upon meeting Dr. Lasky all of my fears were relieved. She has an excellent bedside manner which encouraged me to open up and delve into the problems for which I was seeking counseling. She has guided me through difficult dilemmas with compassion and caring. I find Dr. Lasky to be insightful and her therapy
has fostered less anxiety and hopefulness in my life.

I went to Dr. Lasky feeling confused and unhappy and doubtful that therapy could help. Her attentive, kind and sensible approach is just what I needed. I am learning to see my life in sharper focus and understand myself better. Her guidance helps me handle challenges with greater skill. I think more clearly, cope with tension and frustration more productively; and life in general is more pleasant. Even personal difficulties not talked about seem to improve. I find therapy with Dr. Lasky to be insightful and well worthwhile.
