Laura Goodspeed, MFT

If you are looking for a therapist who really cares about helping you, who listens with compassion and who offers useful advice to move you along your path to healing Laura is it. She is unique in her ability to put you at ease immediately and to make you feel like she is just as invested as you are in helping you with whatever you need to talk about. Laura felt like a breath of fresh air to me after having not the greatest experience with a few other therapists. I would highly recommend having an initial session with Laura to see if she seems like a good fit for you and then taking it from there.

If, like me, you worry that a therapist is going to a) «uh huh» and «what do you think it means» you for an hour or b) impose their views on you, you needn’t fear either with Laura. She has the combination of intelligence, empathy and insight that one wishes for in a therapist. If you are struggling but hesitant to see someone, Laura will make you feel comfortable and help you find your own path.

I was able to refer my friend’s daughter to Laura, sure that she would be treated with respect, understanding, empathy, compassion, and would be taken seriously, not treated like «a kid.» My confidence in Laura Goodspeed was well placed. Feedback indicates that Laura is extraordinarily perceptive, intelligent, knowledgeable and intuitive.
The kind of therapist you can trust with your child’s well-​being, and yours.

As the 5 star ready suggests, Laura is as good as they get! After interviewing a handful of counselors, I finally found Laura and could not have been happier. Some people learn how to listen empathetically/​compassionately in school, and some people have it naturally running through them. Laura is definitely the latter. However, it’s also clear she is trained in tracking themes in conversation, reframing circumstances with fresh context, and providing balanced psych info when needed. I wasn’t looking for a Freud experience — lie on the couch while some father-​figure probes your memories. I was looking for a meeting of the minds and some healing of a broken heart. Laura exceeded my expectations, and after six months we reached a place where we felt we accomplished what we set out to do together.

Laura is amazing. She’s personable, not judgemental, listens, and gives input when I need to hear it. I feel comfortable talking about whatever, because clearly nothing phases her! She’s good at having an objective look at the big picture, not just how my actions affect me, but others around me. She clearly enjoys helping others, and puts her whole heart into helping others, and it’s not just a paycheck to her. I highly recommend her!
