Laura L. Young, LCSW-R, CGP 315 West 57th Street, Manhattan, New York 10019

"I first starting seeing Laura for family counseling for my husband, son and myself. Family life was pretty stressful, chock full of pain and anger. None of us were seeing eye-tp-eye. Laura was so supportive and gave us skills to understand one another and look at different perspectives. She is a very skilled mediator and brought us all closer together. We are much happier as a family and as individuals. During Covid and the lockdown, I began to see Laura individually. I was overwhelmed by a life-changing illness that challenged all aspects of life. She helped me organize my mind and my priorities helping to alleviate my anxiety and depression. Life is now much more manageable. I highly recommend Laura Young. She has helped me and my family get through the tough times. I no longer feel overwhelmed and helpless. I am very grateful for Laura's expertise and kindness."

"Laura has a true gift for this work. She poses thoughtful, critical questions and listens carefully to your answers. She helps you get down to the bottom of whatever problems you are facing. She is highly professional, flexible and accommodating. I am very grateful for her help and would recommend her without question."

"Laura Young gifts the power of identifying, honoring and navigating difficult emotions. She explores word use and the intentions behind them and honors the fact we are all imperfect. She teaches through example of how to have regard for oneself while also having regard for others. Laura has incredible intuition, tolerates projection and picks up on nonverbal communication while remaining curious without criticizing. I have personally and professionally benefited from time spent with Laura Young."

"Laura cuts through, in the gentlest way possible. My husband and I appreciate direct! For two people that have a strong bond but a tremendous amount of weight around them, along with an alpha stance, her guidance through listening, speaking, and mirroring was really helpful to rebuild our foundation. I have a lot of gratitude for her non-emotional, but compassionate and objective approach to us. And of course Copine is an extra bonus that really helps with healing. Thank you Laura for clearing the path.."

"Laura Young (psychotherapist) was referred through a friend who I witnessed a powerful and positive transformation. My friend worked with Laura both for individual and group psychotherapy and had made several successful referrals to Laura for couple’s counseling as well. As this was my first time seeking out marriage therapy, my husband and I had concerns. I appreciated from the beginning the professional, prompt and kind response I received when I contacted Laura. At her office, my husband and I felt her detailed initial questionnaire gave us both a lot to think about. Her approach is engaging and thought provoking. She does not just play ‘traffic cop’ to direct who is right and who is wrong, which I think, on a certain level, we both longed for. Rather, she encourages us to bring our immediate challenges into the sessions. In this manner, we are beginning to widen our lens and increase our awareness of the roles and patterns that we have developed that were not serving us except toward thoughts of divorce. Through our weekly marital therapy, our willingness to do the needed work during the sessions and Laura’s keen and attuned observations of our negative ways of communicating, as well as her guidance in co-creating new ways of relating, we are moving toward ending our couples therapy. And, as Laura noted, ‘we can always return for an occasional tune-up’ if/when we find ourselves returning to old patterns. My husband and I walked into Laura’s office with minimal hope to resurrect our marriage. We are leaving her office seeking to renew our wedding vows. We highly recommend Laura. Signed, Carmeta"
