Laurie Ghiz
Laurie holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture, bringing 33 years of experience in the mental health field. She specializes in helping adults navigate challenges related to eating disorders, anxiety, and mood disorders, as well as supporting individuals in recovery from alcohol and drug use. Laurie has worked with a diverse range of clients facing many different concerns beyond these areas, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. Her warm, approachable style helps clients feel comfortable as they explore their goals and work toward lasting change.
I treated an older client who had never been in therapy previously after a traumatic experience resulting in PTSD symptoms. The person was able to work through the symptoms with recommendations provided and she was able to resume normal functioning in her life.
It can take some time to get to know each others styles and ways of communicating and making the person as comfortable as possible. I tend to ask more probing questions in order to help the person think of things/situations/people in a different way.
Typically the first session is more information gathering and history taking, but also letting the person direct the flow of conversation with whatever they need to say.
I am motivated by helping others and seeing them benefit from the changes they choose to make.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can feel heard, supported and not judged. Goals of therapy are dependent upon each person and what they want to achieve in each session with positive changes accomplished over time.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy & Solution-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a strong ability to tune into what’s not being said in a session, picking up on underlying emotions and unspoken concerns. I take pride in connecting with each person as a unique individual, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs and creating a space where they feel truly understood and valued.
