What clients say
- “She is so amazing. She ensures that both my partner and I feel heard and understood. We have tried a few different therapist over the years and she is by far our favorite.”

- “Sessions with Laurel are amongst the best things to have happened to us”
- “Laurel has been steadfast in her support of our family. We appreciate her sevices.”
- “She is great!”
- “In a short amount of time Laurel has helped me reflect on what’s been bugging me inside and with expert reflection and questioning, I was guided towards my truth. Highly recommend Laurel if you want someone who doesn’t just repeat what they hear from you but also synthesizes the said in a way to shed light on overshadowed parts. Thank you, Laurel!”
- “Laurel is a gem. I genuinely enjoyed my session with her. She's accommodating and very validating when describing difficult situations. She gets five stars from me, and I'd highly recommend doing sessions with her.”
- “My partner and I have been therapy with Laurel Lass for a several months now. I love her. She listens to both sides, very commutative, analyses situations verbally translates what she is hearing and confirms. She then breaks it down to the other (partner) in a way to where that person understands and vice a versa. She gets us actively involved in sessions with both of us communicating and understanding one other. Makes positive suggestions in that moment to the person. Having us turn towards eachother and Verbally express whatever the issue may be.<br /> This is to make sure that we are hearing eachother (partner) and understanding.<br /> She takes notes! This is probably the one thing I like so much, it shows she's listening and is present in the moment with us and the issues at hand.<br /> She has a great sense of humor also which is nice to lighten a dark mood.<br /> I would recommend Laurel Lass she's actively involved, works with us and leaves us with suggestions until we meet with her again.<br /> I'm honored to leave this review on her behalf. :)”
