Getting to know Laura Gould

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice in mid-town Manhattan. My clinical experience spans over 20 years in government social service programs, corporate institutions, and private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and groups aged 18 and over who are navigating issues related to infertility, relationships, life transitions, and grief and loss. My approach is solution-focused and draws from a variety of theoretical perspectives, most prominently psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. In addition to my private practice, I provide clinical consultation and evaluation for private adoption cases nationwide. I am a member of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, The Clinicians Collective (TCC), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), where I serve on the Private Practice committee of the New York chapter. I am also a board member of Community Access, Inc., New York City's largest provider of supportive housing and social services for people living with mental health concerns. I received my Master's in Social Work (MSW) from Boston University and serve as a clinical supervisor to Master's level social work students.

    I never actually got to speak to her. I booked an appointment for 4 PM. I received a confirmation. I waited. At 4:10 I called the office. Left a VM. No callback. Called again 20 mins later, because maybe I did something wrong but got voice mail again. No call, no cancelation. I rushed home early from work to make it on-time and be ready. Very disappointed. She very well could be a great therapist but stars are limited as to what you can review and how. I am not sure how else you would know if you will get a call or not.

    Laura is a great listener and always asks great questions about a situation I bring up to her! She’s understanding and validates all my feelings at the time. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who is emphatic and truly wants what’s best for you in life!

    Laura is absolutely wonderful! I could not more highly recommend her for anyone going through a tough time or merely seeking self-improvement.
    Laura is exactly what I was looking for! Compassionate, empathic, friendly, understanding, and solution oriented. I've only had one session with her so far but i'm so looking forward to continuing the journey. I already had quite a few breakthroughs in just the first session.

    I have seen a dozen therapists over the years, Dr. Gould is one of the top. This is so because she is empathetic, carefully listens, thoughtfully responds, and shares great insight. She has a way with words so when we part, I feel 20 pounds lighter and my mind is clear. I have been very satisfied thus far in our few sessions and have already recommended her to my best friend. I look forward to future sessions.

    Laura made me feel comfortable from the first moment I spoke to her, and I feel like I have made so much progress with her since that day. I'm so grateful for her attentive, empathetic approach and I feel like she really gets to know her clients to customize her approach based on what works best for them. I feel like she truly understands me, even when no one else does. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you're skeptical or hesitant to try therapy. She will convince you that you're worth it!
    Laura is an outstanding therapist. She is highly attentive, personable, and provides practical and thoughtful advice and guidance. She strikes the perfect balance of knowledge/expertise and brings a huge heart/human element that makes me feel supported, cared for and in good hands! I truly look forward to our sessions and have experienced immense personal growth through working with her. I could not recommend Laura more! Additionally, Laura's pricing is reasonable and she is highly professional, on time and easy to work with.
    Laura Gould is a superb practitioner. She's an empathic, caring listener, helping guide her clients to their own solutions. But she also isn't afraid to tell it like she sees it and encourage growth and new perspectives in her clients. She's sharp, caring, reliable, and always supportive. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to engage in therapy and improve their lives.
    With patience, compassion and insight, Laura navigated me through a tumultuous time in my life. She understands how to listen and guide. I'm grateful I selected her for the support I needed.
    Laura is patient and insightful. I felt comfortable right off the bat, and helped by her skillfulness as a therapist. She is clearly experienced and knows how to provide meaningful treatment.
    Laura is an outstanding therapist and helped me through a very difficult time. She's understanding, compassionate and insightful.
