Getting to know Laurie Engel

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee. I am Laurie Engel, a dually licensed therapist and clinical leader with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples. My background bridges advanced clinical psychology and social work, including specialized training in CBT from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I work with adults and couples navigating mood disorders, anxiety, acute relationship stress, and complex life adjustments. I also offer dedicated, expert care for the loved ones of individuals struggling with substance use disorders, as well as those managing grief, loss, and chronic medical issues. My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based science with authentic warmth. We will use structured frameworks like CBT and Motivational Interviewing to break negative patterns, but also humor and shared laughter to lighten heavy spaces and build resilience.
