Laurie Leinwand, MA, LPC

You are taking an important step in healing and growth that will enable you to make more positive choices moving forward. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, grief or loss, having relationship difficulties, demonstrating communication problems or just feeling "stuck," contact me at Three Steps Forward to discuss how counseling can help you. My mission is to provide a counseling experience that is comfortable, soothing and empowering. Each session is tailored to your particular needs. Together, we will clarify what you hope to gain from this experience overall. I understand that counseling may be the first opportunity for you to feel truly heard and understood. I will listen to what you say in session, as well as what you don't say, and I'll be mirroring that back to you. I can help you move past the depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. We will work together to challenge the maladaptive stories and unhealthy messages you've been carrying around with you to develop a healthier, more encouraging script that will spur you to move forward, make conscious choices, and note your progress throughout. I favor an active approach to therapy and employ many cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as an incredibly impactful tool called Rapid Transformational Therapy which incorporates Hypnosis.

I am trained by Marisa Peer in the profoundly impactful modality of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). Call me to learn more about this method of hypnotherapy.

If you're unhappy with the way things are, our work will challenge you to experiment with small changes in perception, choice and behavior to create a big positive impact. I help people move forward who feel like they've been standing in the same place for too long.

Psychotherapy can help you gain insight into how you got to where are now AND help you develop the tools and strategies you need to heal and move forward successfully.
