Laurie Pasternak Muntean, LPC

"I was never really a therapy person. I just didn’t like talking about feelings or going into spaces that felt uncomfortable. About two years ago I was facing some medical issues and serendipitously, one of my pre-op nurses gently suggested I talk to someone and left Laurie’s number on a sticky note. It was quite a few months later before I pulled it out and made the call, but my life changed dramatically because of that call. And I think it has never been better. I feel eternally grateful to Laurie. She is kind and understanding but also tells you hard truths when you need to hear them. She gives you actionable solutions for real world problems (not just “why do you think you feel that way”). I’ve evolved into who I am as a person, friend, sister, boss, and romantic partner because of her guidance and suggestions. She has empowered me to make the hard decisions that I once felt overwhelmed by. And she always makes time in her schedule no matter what she has going on. I once spent days endlessly crying unsure how to ever feel happy again and now I wake up grateful for the day I have before me and joyful to be living the life I do. I can’t imagine a better therapist. She has quite literally changed my life for the better."

"Laurie is a very caring person who wants to see her clients succeed and live their best life. I've been to counselors who were just there for the paycheck, she is not one of them."

"Laurie is amazing, I’ve gone to her for two years and I never want to go to anyone else. She’s so personable and trustworthy. She has helped me so much with my anxiety, I used to barely be able to leave my house and it has gotten so much better."
