LAURIE HOCHMAN, LICSW

Counseling in North Kingstown, RI

Welcome.

 

I am passionate about the work I do.  You want to feel better and it is my goal to empower you to be a happier, healthier, and more successful you.  I work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or who have concerns about their health. I provide a calm, safe, supportive, and judgement free space for you to express your thoughts, your feelings, yourself.  

 

I will help you to improve relationships or heal from breakups, learn effective ways of communicating, develop healthier boundaries, and better cope with stress, anger, and sadness. I will listen to you, without judgement.  But I don’t just sit back and listen.  I provide valuable feedback and dialogue to help you solve problems and develop solutions. I believe you are the expert on you and we will to work together as a team to improve your life and achieve your goals.  

  

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I have experience helping people make positive changes to improve their health.  These changes can include maintaining a healthy diet and weight, finding ways to exercise and move more, decreasing pain, improving sleep, and making healthier choices for yourself. I can also assist you in following treatment recommendations from your medical provider. 

 

I consider therapy an art.  I have an eclectic therapeutic approach which combines strength-based theories of solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and family systems to name a few.  I have many concrete skills and techniques to share with you to help you to achieve your goals. I am currently accepting new clients for daytime appointments only. I invite you to email me and I look forward to hearing from you!
