“I’ve had an initial session with Laurie and found her to be thoughtful, grounded, and clear about her approach. She was attentive and made space for me to ask questions about the work. I’m looking forward to continuing. UPDATE: I’ve now had several sessions with Laurie and continue to feel very supported in the care I’m receiving. I appreciate her ability to create a safe, grounded space while also being clear and intentional. I feel confident in her expertise and am grateful for the consistency and care she brings to our sessions.”

Getting to know Laurie Giddins

I’m a licensed therapist specializing in helping women create lives that feel more connected, authentic, and fulfilling. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, trauma, or major life transitions. Together, we work to identify what’s holding you back, heal emotional wounds, and strengthen your connection to your values, relationships, and sense of self. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your unique story. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic and trauma-informed practices, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to support both insight and action. Therapy is not just about understanding the past—it’s about equipping you with the tools and clarity to move forward with confidence and balance. Whether you’re working to set healthier boundaries, quiet self-doubt, heal from attachment wounds, or rediscover your inner strength, I’m here to help you cultivate greater resilience, self-compassion, and joy. You don’t have to face these challenges alone; healing is possible, and you deserve care that empowers you to thrive.
