Getting to know Laurie Tuchel

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you feel stuck, lost, or out of alignment with who you truly are? Talking to someone who tunes in and "gets you" can help you access the healing energy that you have within. Together we can find your North Star, your Self Energy. You can come home--to Yourself! My focus I see clients who are: struggling with relationships, in a period of transition, healing from trauma, and experiencing grief and loss. The discomfort and uncertainty of these situations often present themselves as depression, anxiety, anger, shame, fear, bodily aches and pains, or sadness. My approach I start right where you are. I believe that everything we are experiencing makes sense, given what we've gone through and how we've had to cope. When we realize that there's really nothing wrong with us--that we're using strategies we've always used for an understandable reason--we can find a way out of our stuck places. My communication style I strive to be fully present for you so that I can listen with all of myself . I will check to see if I'm getting it right by reflecting what I'm hearing. I watch for any sign from you that I'm misreading you. I invite you to share only as much emotion as you can handle without becoming overwhelmed. It's a collaboration! My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist when I was 70. I had been drawn to it for years, largely because of the people who helped me when I needed it. I am fascinated by the complexity of our inner lives and how they enter into relationships. I never tire of witnessing someone else's journey. Before becoming a therapist I was a Waldorf teacher for many years. My goals for you We'll explore the experiences you're having in the present and your responses to them. Knowing that they are coping strategies that arose to serve you and keep you safe, we'll get curious about them.
