Laurel Galford, LCSW, LICSW (She/Her)
Staff Therapist
As a queer clinician, Laurel is passionate about exploring how queer identities impact and liberate us, as they are diverse, expansive and ever-changing. She feels strongly that her queer identity helps her see the unlimited potential in our relationships to others, the world around us, and would love to help you see this too.
As a relational provider, Laurel believes fostering a connection between the provider and client is a central aspect of the therapeutic process. She takes a holistic approach to her practice, aiming to explore the deepest parts of yourself and challenge any beliefs that no longer serve you. She believes that through the use of humor and self-compassion, we can find space for joy and kindness in our healing journey. She fully believes in the inherent strengths and expertise all clients possess, and wants to help you thrive in ways that feel your best! What makes you, you?
Laurel is experienced in issues such as LGBTQIA+ identities, relationship work, anxiety and depression, PTSD, and stress management. Laurel uses Relational-Cultural Theory, EMDR, CBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy, with a focus on wellness in our day-to-day lives.
Laurel practices therapy in California and Massachusetts, and offers coaching anywhere.
