Lauresta is an amazing therapist, she helped me adjust my perspective and helped me to process things that I needed clarity with. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, empathetic and insightful person to help them work through things. Thank you so much! (:

Laura was caring and a great listener. She was blunt and asked tough questions . But they needed to be answered and I am grateful that she was able to analyze my issues and lead me in the right direction. I did the work that she asked and it was like a weight lifted. Wonderful job.
