Laura has helped me with SO many issues. She comes to our sessions in her calm and supportive way, and then helps me get through my issues by listening, asking me clarifying questions, and then making very effective suggestions to help me feel empowered and relaxed in any situation. I have been able to overcome my fear of medical procedures, help my disabled son in the best ways for him and for me, and problem-solve issues that felt too big for me to do on my own. I cannot speak highly enough of Laura Hazard. I feel really fortunate to have her as my therapist.

Let’s just say life is overwhelming. Overwhelming due to moving, career and relationship changes, education, physical/mental health goals… Life Is A LOT. With 15 years of experience as a behaviorist and 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor we can work together to break your life into bite sized, manageable pieces.
Being an open minded and approachable person, my goal is to create a comfortable, receptive space for you to explore yourself and the life you have. Using cognitive behavior theories to increase awareness of self, we can work together to identify your strengths and talents and use them more effectively. My background in working with those during major life transitions, such as mental health crisis, compassion fatigue, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, depression and personality disorder, means that I can roll with you through life’s punches. Together we can break the overwhelmed feelings into understandable pieces, putting them back together into the picture you are looking for.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I was nervous about having an 'assigned' therapist. I didn't need to worry. Laura Hazard is the perfect therapist for what I need. She has a kind and supportive manner, and we've worked through some challenges in a way that delighted me - and helped me process them. I'm even sleeping better. I'm looking forward to the next session. I can't recommend her highly enough.
She is awesome!! Need I say anything more?
Laura is easy to talk to, great at listening and a calm demeanor. She has been very supportive asking great questions and offering advice and encouragement. Definitely recommend her!
For the past few months that I've been with BetterHelp, I'm more than grateful that I was paired with Laura. I've seen significant changes in my personal and work life all because I'm able to share with her and implement the strategies we've talked about. Laura really listens to what I have to say and makes sure that I'll be okay before we end our session.
Laura had been all around fantastic. extremely flexible, easy to talk to, and supportive. Exactly what I was looking for in a therapist.
Laura is amazing…! I cannot express how help she was throughout my time of need. She’s an active listener who also helps you find solutions to whatever it is that you are facing. You will not regret speaking with her…!
By far the best Therapist I have ever worked with in my life. No exaggeration. I feel forever blessed to have met and have been connected with her.
So far we have only had two session but laura has already been so helpful! Offering different techniques and practices to integrate into my life to keep my head on straight.
I have been so happy with my experience with Laura. She is so understanding and empathetic and has been very helpful. Highly recommend!
So far very helpful
Laura is wonderful. After every session, I feel validated and my concerns are fully heard without judgement. She offers great insight and challenges my perspective on family issues. It is a pleasure having her as a therapist.
Laura is super helpful and has a wide range of expertise. She has taught me more in a month than I was able to learn about myself in my previous years of therapy. She's a great match for me personally and i'm very thankful for her and her help!
