Laura L. Young, LCSW-R, CGP

We had a couple of sessions with Marissa who works with Laura. She was great, very thoughtful, engaging and asked us some great thought provoking questions. I would highly recommend her.

Laura Young (psychotherapist) was referred through a friend who I witnessed a powerful and positive transformation. My friend worked with Laura both for individual and group psychotherapy and had made several successful referrals to Laura for couple’s counseling as well. As this was my first time seeking out marriage therapy, my husband and I had concerns.

I appreciated from the beginning the professional, prompt and kind response I received when I contacted Laura. At her office, my husband and I felt her detailed initial questionnaire gave us both a lot to think about.

Her approach is engaging and thought provoking. She does not just play ‘traffic cop’ to direct who is right and who is wrong, which I think, on a certain level, we both longed for. Rather, she encourages us to bring our immediate challenges into the sessions. In this manner, we are beginning to widen our lens and increase our awareness of the roles and patterns that we have developed that were not serving us except toward thoughts of divorce.

Through our weekly marital therapy, our willingness to do the needed work during the sessions and Laura’s keen and attuned observations of our negative ways of communicating, as well as her guidance in co-creating new ways of relating, we are moving toward ending our couples therapy. And, as Laura noted, ‘we can always return for an occasional tune-up’ if/when we find ourselves returning to old patterns.

My husband and I walked into Laura’s office with minimal hope to resurrect our marriage. We are leaving her office seeking to renew our wedding vows. We highly recommend Laura.

I am a nutritionist at NAO Nutrition in NYC that specializes in working with individuals who have eating disorders ranging from anorexia, bulimia, compulsive over eating as well as food addictions.

I was working with a client whose progress was remarkable so I asked her who her therapist was and she directed me to Laura L. Young, LCSW. I always meet with professionals before I recommend them to ensure that my clients are in only the best hands

When I met with Laura, I experienced her as open and collaborative. What my clients have gotten is a therapist who listens, empathizes and when needed or requested offers feedback rather than a psychoanalytic blank wall. Her approach is interactive rather than passive.

There is a tremendous emotional component to disordered eating and so I send my clients to Laura L. Young, LCSW a psychotherapist with many years of experience in treating individuals with eating disorders and addictions. She also runs groups which is another facet of her practice that is very helpful to my clients as well because addictions and eating disorders can be very isolating. Without hesitation, I thoroughly recommend Laura as a therapist for addictions and group work.
