- “Dr. Scappa is a very kind, genuine guy with years of experience and expertise under his belt. He is non judgemental and open. My husband and I both feel very heard and welcomed by him and feel we can share anything without fear of judgement or shame. We have tried other marriage counselors and felt that we gained nothing until we tried therapy with Laurence. We’re so thankful to have him as our therapist. Especially with his knowledge on specific topics that affect both of us.”

- “Laurence is very experienced and is super relatable. It felt like we were talking to a family friend just giving their friendly advice. It didn’t feel like a therapy session which to us is a huge plus because me and my partner feel comfortable with telling him our problems and getting his opinions whether we like them or not. He is straight up and it works perfect for us”
