Laura Silverman - Sweetgrass Integrative Counseling and Therapy LLC

Laura’s Approach

My purpose in life is to be authentic and helpful. I want this for myself and for the clients who choose to begin therapy with me. Over the years, with the support of my own therapist, I have healed the parts of myself that needed compassion. I believe that is how I can offer what so many people need: to feel safe and understood. Using practical and science-based strategies, I help my clients make the changes they’ve been dreaming about.

Here’s what people have said about working with me

Attentive.
You always know exactly how to say things so that I get it. Sometimes they are things I have been told before or know, but they just resonate more deeply the way you say them.

Supportive.
You are the only person that makes me believe things can get better. And they have.

Fearless.
You don’t just sit there; you get involved and call me on my bull sh*t. I appreciate that a lot.

Patient .
When I kept telling you that I had so much insight you said, “Insight isn’t enough.” Now I get how my head and so-called insight has been getting in my way. For the first time in my life, I can actually tell you how I am feeling.

Accountable.
I really like that you use science to track how therapy is working and make changes so that I can move toward my goals. We don’t waste time doing stuff that isn’t working. That was definitely new for me, and I have worked with a lot of therapists in the past.

Mindful.
Hippy, granola therapist with all the breathing!
