Getting to know Laina Mason

Welcome here! Let's connect. Many of my clients are trying to cope with the impacts of adverse experiences and/or major transitions, which may have occurred at any point in the lifespan and continue to reverberate. My clients often deal with varying levels of anxiety, sadness, and disconnection, which can affect their ability to sustain relationships; feel fulfilled or successful in their endeavors; set boundaries; and find joy or revel in the fullness of a life that integrates their whole self. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the State University of New York, Albany, and a Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take a relational approach to the counselling space, as I seek to co-create transformative experiences. Let's work to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard, borne witness to. Central to my practice has been developing an understanding of the ways our lived experiences may impact our sense of self and our relationships to others. I care deeply about providing services that honor everyone's unique circumstance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My practice is informed by an unconditional positive regard and "believed-in-hope", in solidarity with my fellow humans. Whilst I am always very honest with clients about the time healing can sometimes take, I try to foster a deeply felt sense of hope for the recovery process, in honouring every person's inner wisdom and capacity to take this journey, one step at a time.
