Laura Stockford LCSW

I have been in practice since 1996 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1999. I can help you with life transitions, grief and loss, recovery from abuse and trauma, mood disorders, chronic pain, gender questions and transitions, and relational difficulties, as well as other mental or emotional problems. I use a variety of approaches and I am most interested in the ways you think about personal change, and in helping you find your own unique path. I am systems and process-oriented and have many tools you might find helpful.

Therapy can greatly improve your mental well-being. Opening up your soul to a stranger requires a great deal of trust. My practice provides a comfortable and private setting for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I love helping people reach their goals, and resolve difficult situations.
