Getting to know Laurence Conkerton

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor (LPC-S) with more than 30 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have helped clients navigate a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, addiction, and major life transitions. Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward, and my role is to provide guidance, clarity, and practical support during those difficult times. My approach to therapy is compassionate, structured, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling safe, understood, and respected. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns and exploring solutions. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress, develop effective coping strategies, and strengthen communication and problem-solving skills. I work with young professionals, adults, couples, and families who are seeking to improve their emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in their ability to manage lifeâ€™s challenges. Whether you are facing stress, emotional difficulties, relationship concerns, or adjusting to significant life changes, therapy can provide the tools and insight needed to move forward. My goal is to help patients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change that supports long-term emotional health and personal growth.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
