About Laura Hennessy

My name is Laura Hennessy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in New Jersey. Much of my work has been at a nonprofit community mental health center where I worked with adolescents and adults. I have experience working with individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. I use an approach focused on engagement, insight building and motivation. I believe that our feelings and experiences are valid and deserve to be expressed freely and without judgment.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

“Great !”

“Helped me get through thought times. I appreciate the guidance she provided and would definitely recommend to a friend!”

“I've been talking with her for two months now, and she's been incredibly helpful in helping me rethink my anxiety. Laura is super comforting to talk to and shows no judgement in anything. I've sent her links and messages outside our video sessions, and she always responds back.”

“Smart, focused, experienced and supportive. Glad the app linked me with Laura.”

“I feel comfortable and able to open up. No judgment from her at all. Tells me I need to find my own answers that are best for me. Hope I can continue to see her!”

“Have had 2 sessions and really appreciate how great Laura is with listening and scheduling. Highly recommend”

“I have only had two sessions but I feel like they have been good . I look forward to more session with Laura .”

“Very kind and also understanding even though I’ve canceled some sessions on short notice, which isn’t cool. She reaches out and offers sessions when she has cancelations which makes me feel like she wants to help.”
