Getting to know Stuart Ginsburg Laver

Hi there, I'm Stuart! I'm a British therapist, licensed in California. I graduated from Touro University in 2020 as a marital and family therapist. I have a background in addiction treatment, and also have particular experience with self-esteem, LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, and depression. I work with individuals and families. My focus My ideal client is someone willing to work on their emotional and mental health and be open to new ways of thinking. My approach My aim is to help you feel comfortable with exploring the issues that have brought you into therapy, then begin to question what is going on and plan together any changes. My aim is for you to make the insights as much as possible, for you to become your own therapist. My communication style Typically gentle, compassionate. I ask a lot of questions to help you explore what's happening in your life. At times, I will remind you of things you said before, make my own observations and insights, and I also use some worksheets and structured exercises. My journey to mental healthcare I have been providing counseling and support in mental health and substance abuse treatment spaces for 20 years, in the UK and in California. I've worked in various settings, including outpatient, residential treatment, schools, and psychiatric units. Providing therapy is wonderful for me; I get the opportunity to experience people growing. My goals for you I'm a firm believer in SMART goal setting, and as such, I'll be asking about progress every session - goals should be measurable. If you feel that you are not making progress, we'll make a different plan. If you are making progress, we'll look at ways to make that change more permanent in your life. Our first session The first session will be an intake. Alongside getting details of the current issues, I'll ask about your mental and physical health, relationships, past events, and your strengths.
