Laura Spence
M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Therapy can be a place to slow things down, understand what’s happening, and begin making changes that actually feel meaningful to you. I’m Laura Spence, a Registered Psychotherapist (M.Ed., RP) in Newmarket, and I work with teens (13+) and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life’s big transitions. Our work together is collaborative and shaped around you. I draw on CBT and DBT for practical coping skills, EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting for processing difficult experiences or trauma, and Solution-Focused Therapy for moving toward your goals. I can follow your lead or offer more structure, depending on what is best for you. Sessions are available in person at my Newmarket office, or by video or phone from wherever you are in Ontario.

50-minute sessions are $165. Not sure if I’m the right fit? Call for a free consultation as a no-pressure way to find out.
People come to therapy for many different reasons.
Some of the areas I commonly support clients with include:
-
Anxiety, worry and overthinking
-
Stress and feeling overwhelmed
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Communication and boundaries
-
Self-esteem and confidence
-
Emotional regulation
-
Trauma and difficult past experiences
-
Grief and loss
-
Parenting and family relationships
-
Life transitions
-
Feeling stuck or disconnected
-
Developing healthier coping strategies
You don't need to fit neatly into one of these categories. Often, the things bringing someone to therapy overlap.
