Laure DeForges, LPC — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Laure!

I have a deep commitment to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I have been able to help work towards healing and a better version of yourself.

My focus

I am committed to working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where trust and safety are essential for growth.

My approach

My approach is warm, empathetic, and understanding with a blend of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, ACT, REBT, and trauma-informed care to support you in developing resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

My communication style

I create a space for open communication and reflective listening. You can freely communicate your thoughts, feelings, and obstacles that stand in your way from having a voice.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy learning and helping others navigate the complexities of the mind. I am interested in understanding what drives certain behaviours and emotions that make it difficult for others to navigate.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. I will create a tailored treatment plan focused on those goals and work deliberately towards assisting you in building the right tools to accomplish them.

Our first session

Our first session will feel welcoming, warm, and open. It allows you to share about your challenges in depth and explore what it would take to become a healthier version of yourself.
