Lauralee Fuhrmann LCSW. The approach is client-centered and strengths-based. It can be difficult to open up and talk about life stressors to a stranger. Sometimes, we can feel unheard or alone or just need someone who can be a helping, compassionate, and nonjudgmental ear. In therapy, we can mend fractured and fragmented pieces of ourselves that have been damaged by past relationships, and trauma. Together, we can bring out positive change in our lives; we can challenge negative cognitions and dissonance. Together, we can begin the path of healing.
My approach
My approach to therapy uses CBT, EMDR, compassion-focused, feminist, psychodynamic, and attachment-based.
My focus
I typically work with adults who have experience with depression, anxiety, poor self/body image, sexual abuse, and life transitions.
My communication style
The tone and environment are quiet, calm, engaging, respectful, and honoring, in addition to light humor.
My journey to mental healthcare
As a victim of sexual abuse, I can emphasize and facilitate compassion; I understand the struggles and we can heal the fragmented fractures, together.
My first session with you
Light environment, discussion on presenting problem; history, and treatment goals.
