About Me

My name is Laura Hennessy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in New Jersey. Much of my work has been at a nonprofit community mental health center where I worked with adolescents and adults. I have experience working with individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. I use an approach focused on engagement, insight building and motivation. I believe that our feelings and experiences are valid and deserve to be expressed freely and without judgment.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I've been talking with her for two months now, and she's been incredibly helpful in helping me rethink my anxiety. Laura is super comforting to talk to and shows no judgement in anything. I've sent her links and messages outside our video sessions, and she always responds back.

Very kind and also understanding even though I’ve canceled some sessions on short notice, which isn’t cool. She reaches out and offers sessions when she has cancelations which makes me feel like she wants to help.
