LAURIE HOCHMAN, LICSW

providing counseling services to Rhode Islanders

empowering you to be a healthier, happier you

Welcome!

I'm so glad you're considering counseling.  It's a big step, and it's completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. This is a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with an unbiased, non-judgmental, supportive therapist. Counseling is all about you - your goals, your journey, and it's at your pace. 

 

I am passionate about the work I do. It's my goal to empower you to be a happier, healthier, and more successful version of you. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or health concerns. 

 

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 judgment. But I don't just sit back and listen. I actively engage in meaningful dialogue, providing valuable solutions that are tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe in a collaborative approach, based on the belief that you are the expert on you.  We will work together as a team to make changes to improve your life and achieve your goals. 

 

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression. I help people make positive changes that improve their health and wellness. These changes can include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing pain levels, improving sleep, and making better choices for yourself. Additionally, I can assist you in following treatment recommendations from your medical provider. 

 

To me, therapy is an art form. My therapeutic approach integrates strengths-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. The techniques are specifically designed to empower you to achieve your objectives. 

 

I offer video telehealth appointments allowing you to conveniently access the care and support from the comfort of your own space.  I am currently accepting new clients and have availability for daytime appointments. If you are interested in working together, please feel free to email me at Laurie@risocialwork.com. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey to personal growth and well-being. 

 

Best regards,

 

Laurie
