​Laura Torres LPC
Coaching and Psychotherapy
Individual Counseling
I see individuals in therapy for a range of reasons spanning the challenges that bring people to therapy:
-
the pursuit of personal growth and expanded awareness
-
struggles with anxiety or depressive symptoms
-
life transitions such as becoming a parent, ending a relationship or career change
-
the desire for meaning and a more purposeful life
-
and more.
A foundational pillar of my practice is strengthening compassion and acceptance, for self and other. In my experience, this is essential for well-being, wholeness and feeling connected. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults and a wide range of backgrounds.
Couples Counseling
Supporting people in building healthy, energizing, and sustainable relationships is a passion for me. The foundation of healthy relationships is built with compassion and acceptance of self and one another. In my experience, this is essential for strong and loving connection. I work from a strength-based perspective, encouraging couples to focus their energy on expanding what is already working rather than focusing on 'problems'. I see my role as supporting couples in gaining clarity about underlying issues, framing desired, shared outcomes, strengthening communication, and moving towards whatever goals a couple identifies.
