Getting to know Laura Rubenstein

Laura Rubenstein, LCSW, helps teens, adults, and older adults build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. At LifeStance Health, she provides therapy for patients across Illinois, supporting individuals who are coping with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as those facing school-related difficulties, relationship concerns, major life transitions, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique goals, empowering clients to gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and improve overall well-being. Laura is especially passionate about working with individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital and those participating in court-ordered treatment. She understands that these situations can feel overwhelming and uncertain, and she provides a steady, supportive therapeutic environment where clients can rebuild stability, develop healthy routines, and work toward lasting recovery. She is also highly experienced in helping youth experiencing school avoidance and other school-based challenges, while partnering with parents and caregivers to support success both at home and in educational settings. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches, Laura helps clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and improving day-to-day functioning. In addition to her primary specialties, she offers support for a wide range of mental health concerns and life circumstances. She has experience serving members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals involved in adoption or foster care, and people with developmental disabilities, among other populations. Laura provides individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and case management services.
