About me

I am licensed in Florida with 20 years of professional work experience, with most of that experience specifically working with teens at various ages. I have worked with teens on managing anger and frustration, stress and anxiety, family and school problems, as well as dealing with peer pressure. I also have experience with addressing issues from substance use. I use a client centered model for therapy, which places you in the driver seat of your story. I believe that everyone has many strengths to use in pulling through whatever is troubling them, and we will focus on using your strengths, too! Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Our therapy sessions have been massively impactful in my life- they’ve been transformative and inspirational. I can’t thank or recommend Mrs. Richardson enough. 10/10.

I’ve had four therapy sessions with Laura, and I feel very comfortable talking to her. She’s easy to open up to, listens to my concerns, and is open-minded, which makes it easy to talk about anything. I would definitely recommend her. She’s knowledgeable and helps identify possible issues clearly. Thank you! I’ll definitely continue therapy with her.

Love Laura. Connected and relatable

Written on Sep 01, 2023 after therapy with Laura for 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Laura helped me reshape my perspective when I was at an all time low. She would break negative thought patterns and have me focus on what I can control, and with that I was able to see the power and ability I have in changing my own life. I can’t thank Laura enough!

Laura is a great. Therapist. She speaks without being biased and listens to all sides fairly with solutions to issues. I am very happy with the progress my child has made since starting therapy. We are noticing small improvements which is all we can ask for.

I have been working with Laura for a few months now. During my first session I knew right away that she was the right fit - I felt that she 'got' me, and that I was incredibly comfortable and at ease discussing things with her. I like how she challenges me to see the other side...and to really dig deep with my emotions. I am glad I was paired with Laura and I appreciate all of her feedback and insights. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I have never felt more comfortable talking to someone. She understands and listened to me and my challenges and gives me the tools to use to better myself, and those around me. If I gave Laura a theme song to life it would best be "Don't worry be Happy!" THANK YOU LAURA!!!
