Laura Riss, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

non-judgmental, compassionate, authentic, and uplifting. 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. We work together to create a plan to help support healing in your thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal patterns.

Together, we will:

work together to understand how your past experiences inform your present difficulties as well as your strengths. We will use this lens to develop new tools and strategies to generate momentum for sustainable change.

I specialize in working with people who:

experience issues with disordered eating 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:

We will explore your experiences from your perspective, then work collaboratively to find therapies that best fit your needs.

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.
