Laurence Scappa is a well read, well rounded and consummate professional. I have been given a sound and thought provoking professional to guide me through the rough waters of my concerns. He provides sound and introspective advice and guidance. I am a better man because of him.

He is hands down the realest person and therapist I ever met. I don’t feel like I talking to a therapist. He’s just a really wise man who gives honest and great advise. He is teaching me the tools to start loving myself and focus on the now.
