Trina Laverty

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, curious, and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spent a great deal of my time with my grandmother while I was growing up, and she was a psychologist. I admired how much she helped the children and families she worked with, and I knew that I wanted to be a therapist. I am curious about people's life experiences and what makes them tick.

My goals for you

The first step in helping you reach your goals is identifying what they are. I will listen to what brought you to therapy and help you define where you want to be. Together, we will break this down into smaller steps, and I will help you develop tools and strategies to accomplish those objectives.

Our first session

In our first session, I will tell you about my background and ask questions to better understand where you are coming from and what struggles you are managing. We will go at your pace so you feel safe and comfortable. From there, we will discuss how I can help and start formulating your treatment plan.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
