Hi my name is Laura Solomon . I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and have been practicing for 19 years. I also have a Master’s in Social Sciences. I graduated from both the University at Albany and Binghamton University. I have worked with a variety of clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, life adjustment, relationship issues and codependency.
I have a great deal of respect for those seeking support and believe in meeting people where they are at and am interested in working on your goals. I also believe in helping clients discover their true authenticity and purpose. It is a true privilege to watch that occur. I am not fixated on one particular treatment modality as everyone is different and benefits from different approaches. I look forward to working together in the future.
On a personal note, I am also a registered Yoga instructor and a Reiki Master

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Solomon. 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.
I think she is a very understanding person and has great insight. I feel like we connected pretty quickly. She has opened my eyes I think to the root of my issues which has helped me thus far in my day to day activities. Because of that I’m more open and have more empathy towards the ones I love. Something’s I understand cannot be fixed but has allowed me to understand that it’s not mine to resolve. That’s been quite liberating in many ways. Makes for a happier life.
