Dr. Thomas' vast knowledge, intelligence and professional approach in working with me through severe and on-going depression and anxiety has done me more good than any "pill" I ever took for my mental condition. Furthermore, Dr. Thomas helped me with guidance on how to "look outside the box" in situations that had stressed me beyond my capability to address and deal with. Thanks to her, I really feel mentally free instead of trying to bury stuff that you really can't bury.

I worked with Dr. Laura after my divorce on 2009, when I was literally at rock bottom. Because she uses such a great solutions based style, rather then keeping you hooked on therapy and thinking there is something wrong with you. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I am not discounting the experience of Ella, but had such a drastically different experience with Laura that I felt compelled to share. I met with Laura for several sessions in 2017 and found her to be kind, compassionate, CALM, and insightful. She was very supportive in helping me recognize some of the healthy coping tools I already possess, and allowed flexibility in continuing or postponing our scheduled sessions as I saw fit. She is also well versed in the benefits of mindfulness and meditation which resonated with me.
