Getting to know Laurie Parsons
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Laurie Parsons is a Licensed Social Worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Resilience Lab.
Do you ever feel like you're a passenger in your own life' That you're in the backseat while your emotions drive you where you never intended to go' I'm here to give you back the steering wheel.
When my father passed away unexpectedly at 15, I had no one to guide me. That loss shaped my purpose: to be the support I once needed. Fast forward through years of diverse experience, from youth mental health to LGBTQ+ sexual health and housing assistance, here I am, with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a mission to empower you.
Many people feel powerless to their emotions. We crave being in control but usually focus our energy on things outside of our control. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques, I’ll help you regain your power and focus your energy on what you can actually change.
You already have the skills you need to thrive; you might just not know how to use them. Ready to take back control and discover how strong you really are' I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
As endorsed by Michelle Julian on Psychology Today:
"Laurie knows how to guide people through emotion with grace and empathy. She helps her clients feel empowered in the face of fear!"
Said one of Laurie’s patients:
"My therapist, Laurie, is INCREDIBLEEEEEE!!! I have battled with PTSD and extreme anxiety for over 20+ years now and since beginning treatment with Laurie I have been able to actually enjoy my life again, sleep through the night, and be in social settings without any fear. She has given me every tool I need to be able to manage my stress and anxiety levels daily. She’s truly an angel. I appreciate her so much!!! THANK YOU LAURIE!!! YOU’RE A MIRACLE WORKER!!!"
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, or relationship challenges. Although it takes time, I encourage my clients to take a deeper look into their thoughts and feelings so that they can understand how to work towards their goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am dedicated to those I work with and will challenge your ways of thinking so you can see other perspectives. I utilize different techniques that will help you reframe your negative and unhelpful ways of thinking into positive thoughts, and give you the skills you need to be fully in control of your emotions.
