Getting to know Laura Sturgis

Hi there, I'm Laura! The stories we tend to hold about ourselves can shape our views about the world and our place in it. I am here to help you identify those unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and examine how these beliefs might be holding you back. Often, when you are struggling, it can feel like you are your own worst enemy. My goal is to help you better understand and accept yourself so that you can begin to work with your brain to overcome challenges rather than continuing to fight against it. My approach I use a psychodynamic and attachment-focused approach. I tend to draw from a range of interventions and evidence-based practices, working with each client to find the approach that suits their needs. I am also an RYT-200-hour certified yoga teacher and offer a holistic treatment approach focused on wellness and the mind-body connection. My focus I work with teenagers and adults who are struggling with issues such as life transitions, relationships, and self-worth. Some of my specialties include ADHD, substance abuse/addiction, and women's issues. My communication style My approach values the importance of the therapeutic relationship. My hope is for us to connect in a way that feels empowering and collaborative. I engage with my clients with compassion, humor, and authenticity. It is important to me that this space feels nonjudgmental and safe. My goals for you You are the expert on your own life, and it is my job to help you identify your goals and how to achieve them. As we build our therapeutic connection, we will work together to identify patterns and behaviors that are unhelpful or causing you pain and focus on small and tangible steps forward. My first session with you Our first session will mostly be a chance for us to get to know each other and see if this feels like a good fit. I will ask you questions about yourself, and you are welcome to ask me any questions you have as well.
