Let’s just say life is overwhelming. Overwhelming due to moving, career and relationship changes, education, physical/mental health goals… Life Is A LOT. With 15 years of experience as a behaviorist and 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor we can work together to break your life into bite sized, manageable pieces.
Being an open minded and approachable person, my goal is to create a comfortable, receptive space for you to explore yourself and the life you have. Using cognitive behavior theories to increase awareness of self, we can work together to identify your strengths and talents and use them more effectively. My background in working with those during major life transitions, such as mental health crisis, compassion fatigue, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, depression and personality disorder, means that I can roll with you through life’s punches. Together we can break the overwhelmed feelings into understandable pieces, putting them back together into the picture you are looking for.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Hazard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Laura has helped me with SO many issues. She comes to our sessions in her calm and supportive way, and then helps me get through my issues by listening, asking me clarifying questions, and then making very effective suggestions to help me feel empowered and relaxed in any situation. I have been able to overcome my fear of medical procedures, help my disabled son in the best ways for him and for me, and problem-solve issues that felt too big for me to do on my own. I cannot speak highly enough of Laura Hazard. I feel really fortunate to have her as my therapist.

I was nervous about having an 'assigned' therapist. I didn't need to worry. Laura Hazard is the perfect therapist for what I need. She has a kind and supportive manner, and we've worked through some challenges in a way that delighted me - and helped me process them. I'm even sleeping better. I'm looking forward to the next session. I can't recommend her highly enough.

For the past few months that I've been with BetterHelp, I'm more than grateful that I was paired with Laura. I've seen significant changes in my personal and work life all because I'm able to share with her and implement the strategies we've talked about. Laura really listens to what I have to say and makes sure that I'll be okay before we end our session.
