Description
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety or trauma I can support your healing, at a deep level. My name is Dr. Laura Ruaro. I’m licensed as a Psychologist in California. Together, we can look at the underlying relationships that have contributed to your symptoms. We can use different techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, working at a pace this is safe and effective for you.
I also work with couples, including those in intercultural or interfaith relationships.
In addition, I work with new parents. This exciting life transition often triggers unresolved issues that can be in the way of a healthy attachment between parent and child, and can even cause postnatal depression. I’m trained to promote healthy attachment between caregivers and babies, from pregnancy through to toddlerhood.
I’m from Italy, near Venice, and I lived in different countries before moving here to Los Angeles. As such, I’m well placed to understand the challenges of settling into a new environment.
