“Laureen is an amazing therapist. I've been seeing her for about 2 1/2 years now & she has made a huge positive impact in my life. She is professional, yet genuine & compassionate. She cares about her clients & wants to make a difference in their lives- and she does! Laureen is honest with her advice, is not swayed by manipulation or facades, & makes therapy an enjoyable experience with an added dash of humor/sarcasm. I trust and respect her immensely & I could not ask for a better therapist. Highly recommend! ”

Getting to know Laureen DiMattia
Let me help you get to know me better!
My clinical journey began during my studies at Pennsylvania State University (We Are!) in Psychology and Sociology. From there, I earned my Masters of Social Work from Marywood University and soon after founded my own outpatient therapy practice, Seasons of Strength.
As a therapist and Licensed Social Worker, my mission is to provide you with excellent therapeutic care as you reach your wellness goals. As a clinician, I employ therapy techniques from strongly supported evidence-based methods, such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Additionally, I am trained in Eco-Systemic Family Therapy (ESFT), which helps me understand your life story in a systemic context.
My specialization is EMDR therapy . EMDR is an approach that addresses the physiological storage of memory and how it forms experiences. Change occurs when the links to those memories are transformed. I integrate EMDR therapy into many aspects of my work to help people address painful, unhelpful memories that hold them back from a life worth living.
I’ve helped people from all over the state overcome emotional difficulties and life challenges, such as:
Depression
Anxiety and stress
Abuse
Divorce, separation, or breakup
Trauma and PTSD
Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, etc.)
Relationship problems
Hopelessness and helplessness
Loneliness and isolation
And much more
What should a new client know about working with you?
No matter how difficult things might seem, no matter how long you’ve struggled, I can help. I founded Seasons of Strength to provide compassionate, effective, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults, couples, and families from Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. As an independent private practice clinician, I offer an individually tailored therapy experience designed to help you or your loved one reach your goals and achieve wellness.

I have been working with Laureen consistently for almost two years. She is extremely knowledgeable in her area and utilizes evidence-based practice to guide her treatment plans with patients, which puts me at ease, as I know I’m on the right path to addressing my mental health concerns. Myself and the people around me have noticed a dramatic change within our time together, including a reduction in the following symptoms: insomnia, sleep paralysis, debilitating flashbacks, and hypervigilance. Finding a therapist to click with has always been a difficult task for me, but I really clicked with Laureen almost immediately. She is really personable and compassionate about what she does. She really wants to get to know you and the difficulties you are facing, as well as coming up with strategies and solutions together that are both effective and realistic. She challenges me and holds me accountable, but realistically and in a non-judgmental way. Our sessions are always a safe place to unload my stresses. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs them (in fact, I already have!).
