Getting to know Dr. Laura Gerber

Laura G Gerber is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who uses a cognitive behavioral approach to treating long-standing personality disorders as well as other more acute disorders. She employs a strengths-based, non-pathological approach to treatment, breaking down issues into manageable goals. Laura believes in a strong client-centered therapeutic relationship to help individuals move toward their goals for a healthy and fulfilling life. The client is the driver of the therapy and has the most insight into how and what therapy should look like. Treatment is individualized, recovery-focused, and strengths-based. Laura incorporates relaxation, stress management, guided imagery, fitness, nutrition, and yoga into sessions to assist individuals in feeling comfortable experiencing their feelings and finding solutions to the issues that keep them awake at night. With six years of experience in community mental health and crisis work, she is able to quickly assess situations and help individuals make immediate plans to get through the day until more structured treatment goals can be established. Laura graduated with a BA in General Psychology from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, an MA in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois, and completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Walden University in Baltimore, Maryland, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
