My name is Laura Neuscheler. I am a counselor with over 20 years experience working with adolescents & their families. A few years ago I retired from my “day job” as a high school counselor. My practice is dedicated to empowering teens and their families to realize their emotional potential. My treatment method is direct, solution-focused, utilizes humor where appropriate and is always empathic. Adolescence is a difficult time for everyone. Some teens go through this period with barely a problem, others seem to experience great difficulty. Many families at some time during these years need help.

Whether a mood disorder, a chronic or acute medical condition, or difficulty establishing a healthy lifestyle, I work with my clients to develop not only coping skills but also help them find vitality in their lives.

Self knowledge can lead to change. My approach to therapy is to explore areas of difficulty in your life and to discover the underlying causes. I create a trusting, supportive and collaborative environment which fosters personal growth and facillitates change.

Many years ago, in a college library, I stumbled across a very early psychology book, printed in the early 1900's. Inside the front cover I found a Taoist inscription that I believe holds great truth, and best summarizes my philosophy of treatment: "....he who knows how to cleanse the current of a stream begins by clearing out it's source. And he who would strengthen the end of a process must commence with making it's beginning correct."

Do you find yourself feeling worried regarding your family, relationship or work? Are you concerned about your child's behavior or your relationship with them? Many of my clients have considerable insight into their situation, but most find it difficult to change unproductive behavioral patterns or just "make" themselves feel better. I believe that change begins with knowing that no one is perfect...that every once in awhile we can all benefit from someone who will listen and guide us through our personal journeys.

Wanting to be happy is often a way of saying “I want peace”. Life’s difficulties test us and sometimes we feel defeated but it doesn’t have to be that way. Often, we suffer needlessly because we treat the symptom rather than the cure, we entertain the story rather than the truth and we give full rein to our personality rather than to our heart and soul. If this resonates with you, I invite you to ask yourself, "Am I living as fully as I can?" or, "Am I feeling powerless, stuck and not enjoying life?" If so, I can guide and support you to look inside for deeper truths that will allow you to grow and to find peace in your life.

The purpose of counseling is to help people cope with problems in daily living and to deal with inner conflicts which hinder various aspects of their personal satisfaction and functioning. This purpose is usually accomplished by increasing the client's personal awareness, increasing the client's acceptance of self and others, and having the client make behavioral and cognitive changes to attain personal goals. To achieve this, I utilize a combination of research-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, reality therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy.

Finding help in the face of emotional pain is an act of courage. A chronic storm of emotions may leave you bouncing between panic, fear, shame, and self-doubt. It is exhausting and can leave you feeling hopeless and afraid. Trying everything you can think of but still not feeling the happiness, confidence and life satisfaction that you long for. Still, somehow a felt sense inside reveals glimmers of the more healed, happier person you know you can be. Like something that you cannot quite grasp, but sense its authentic presence. A call inward. A call to heal.

Sawubona! In Zulu, the most widely spoken language in South Africa, this means more than hello, it means - I see you, I recognize your worth and dignity. Life can often leave us in mental and emotional survival mode, stripping us of our worth. I am passionate about helping people move from simply surviving towards thriving. I work best with individuals experiencing PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or various types of conflict including familial, relational, spiritual, and self.
