Welcome to Laura Gould, LCSW

Each person’s broad web of relationships and external circumstances impacts their view of the world and ability to cope within it. With over 20 years experience as a clinical psychotherapist, I consider these and other factors in my work with individuals and couples.

My theoretical perspective is integrative, heavily rooted in the psychodymanic approach, but drawing from the relational and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) models when appropriate. My approach is empathic, interactive and collaborative. Each session is uniquely tailored to the individual, taking into account the goals of the therapy. While I see the importance in identifying root causes for behavior, I believe it is equally important to focus on coping mechanisms in the present and developing effective solutions for managing life’s difficulties. The therapy can be short-term, addressing a particular issue or life transition, or longer-term, focusing on more complex problems or personal growth.

Sessions are offered virtually or in-person. See payment page for rates and other details.
