Getting to know Laura Baer

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters Degree in Social Work and more than 20 years of experience as a Clinical Therapist, working with adults, couples and families. I have a lengthy history of past employment with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I worked closely with Veterans experiencing a variety of mental health issues including Complex-PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Substance Use Issues, co-occurring medical issues and Psychosis. I work from a culturally curious, trauma-informed perspective, with the awareness that every individual and every nervous system requires its own unique blend of therapy. Therefore, I am equipped with an eclectic bag of therapeutic tools and services. Although I am trained in a variety of evidence-based therapies, I am wedded to none. I will partner with you to determine the approach that works best for you, whether more structured with homework or a more flexible approach, using multiple tools. Whatever the process, we will ensure you feel safe to be vulnerable and explore, as you work toward self-evolution and a better quality of life!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
