Getting to know Joy Laurila

Let’s find your Joy! My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space where you feel genuinely heard and supported. We can work together to identify your strengths, heal old wounds, find new ways of thinking, and learn new skills.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Life is full of twists and turns. We all have a story, and we all have successes and challenges. You don’t have to face the challenges alone. Trusting another person with your story and honestly facing yourself is courageous.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Every client is unique, and we will work together to identify the best approach for you. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults. I have specialized training in eating disorders and provide family-based treatment for teens and families struggling with an eating disorder. I draw from various treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Based Treatment, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I also offer Walk and Talk Therapy for those that may benefit from that form of therapy. First and foremost, the therapeutic relationship is the most critical aspect of therapy, and I hope to earn your trust.
