Laura Riss, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

My therapeutic style is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental. It is important that you know you are seen and understood while supported to make changes.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work collaboratively using an integrative approach that draws on mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, dynamic, and creative techniques.

Together, we will:

work together to understand how your past experiences inform your present difficulties as well as your strengths. Being understood and validated is key to creating sustainable changes for a happier and healthier life without the need for therapy.

I specialize in working with people who:

are having difficulties with disordered eating patterns including restrictive, binge, purge, and emotional eating. I have specialized training in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and work with individuals with relationship problems.

I became a therapist because:

Suffering in silence happens too frequently and I feel passionately about helping those in pain bring voice to their truths and facilitate healing.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

working with use of metaphor and creative techniques to deepen understanding of, exploration, and healing of wounds.

More about me and my practice:

I am passionate about helping people of all self-identification, sexual orientation, or lifestyle. It is my belief that it is our differences and unique perspectives that can bring the greatest healing.
