Laurel Guerrero-Pendleton, LCSW

Hi! I’m Laurel and I specialize in individual and couples therapy. I help individuals and couples navigate challenges during critical life transitions. I focus on supporting adolescents, young professionals and couples, as they work through issues such as anxiety, depression, and interpersonal struggles. In addition to general therapy, I have deep understanding of the unique emotional and psychological experiences that accompany post-partum depression and anxiety. With my personal experience as a mother, my continued work with hospitals and families, as well as my continued education in Perinatal Mood Disorders, I am uniquely qualified to work with couples and families on issues related to parenthood.

The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I work to co-create a safe and caring environment in which people can work toward self-actualization, understanding, and balance within their lives and relationships. My clients find my style humorous and affirming while also challenging and stimulating.

I believe in our innate desire & ability to heal. Sometimes we need assistance in finding the path to wholeness and health. Other times we need someone to hold us accountable to change. I encourage clients to work through the current issues resounding in their life and develop insight into their own patterns of behavior and relationships to become empowered to enact sustainable change within their lives.
