I am Gloria Gitlin. I am a professional counselor and a teacher. I have worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and several agencies. My approach to counseling is multi-faceted, similar to my education. I have a Masters in Psychology and am certified as a professional counselor. Prior to going into the field of psychology, I obtained a Ph.D. in Linguistics. My interests lie in the area of language and its effect on cognitions and ultimately on behavior. I am a firm believer that what we think determines what we do. I like to do research on cognition and subsequent feelings and behavior. Many researchers have found that what we think and believe determines how we perceive the world, and how we perceive determines what we see and what we do. A change in perception can change the make-up of the world and one’s surroundings. Feelings are important, but can be misleading, even to ourselves. That would account for the many misunderstandings and disagreements, and hurt feelings. If we want to gain some control over life and its circumstances, we need to gain some insight into our thoughts and beliefs. That is what counseling is about. We will explore feelings, beliefs, and thoughts to try to determine what it is that is causing the disruption in your life. There is not a situation that cannot be improved upon by finding out who we are and the determining circumstances that led us to this point. Uncovering the problem is the first step to finding a solution. I would be happy to help you in the process of gaining some insight and some control over your life, so that you might enjoy a more harmonious existence and a more fulfilling life.

Just as a diabetic requires insulin and a person with vision impairment needs glasses, sometimes we benefit from emotional support to boost optimal brain health and function. Counseling is a safe, collaborative opportunity for you to take personal, self-care time assessing, processing and redefining your life. Learn to build skills to improve communication, social relationships, goal setting, decision making, time management, organization, work / life balance, self-esteem and any other issues preventing you from being the most authentic, successful, fulfilled version of yourself. Laura’s passion and specialty is working with the learning different population who often struggle with co-morbid social-emotional challenges. As a hybrid professional, she blends the worlds of education & therapy offering her clients a myriad of practical strategies and tools. Additionally, Laura enjoys empowering parents & the larger family system to foster healing, strength, perseverance, and optimism through challenging times. She encourages her clients on their journey to better manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She uses a combination of therapy orientations tailored to the individual including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Family Systems Therapy to instill hope by reframing maladaptive, distorted thought patterns and foster positive coping skills. Laura supports adults going through a wide variety of struggles and transitions. Life is a roller coaster with many unexpected ups and downs. While we can’t control our environment, we can control our actions and behaviors. We can learn healthier coping skills to deal with problems. An overwhelming mountain may become a more manageable mole hill. Laura provides a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be your true, authentic, vulnerable self. It can be difficult to focus on yourself when you have a lot of other responsibilities and roles. It’s important to take the time to get your own needs met, so that you can be calm, clear, present and intentional each day. Everyone deserves to have proper balance between their personal and work life. During the course of therapy, Laura will create a climate of acceptance and understanding so that you may feel free to share all of your experiences, perceptions, and emotions. Confronting distorted and denied patterns through a close therapeutic relationship allows many people to develop healthier ways of coping with life. Your brain will begin to re-wire itself and move towards optimal neural integration. This will allow for improved emotional regulation, mood enhancement and the ability to buffer daily stress. You will no longer be stuck or held back. Laura's job is to hold a mirror up and help remove the walls and obstacles so that you can become more attuned to your inner voice guiding you to whom you are meant to be.
