Psychologist
I believe the key to change lies in cultivating a safe, strong therapeutic relationship. Through a developmental lens, I aim to understand each person’s history and how their unique story informs current challenges. I feel passionate about working with patients from diverse backgrounds and utilize a culturally-informed approach when understanding life experiences and associated thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In conjunction with this psychodynamic, relationally-driven approach, I help patients identify a clear presenting concern, develop goals, and integrate appropriate evidence-based practice tailored to their specific needs.
I am a general practitioner licensed in California and New York, with experience working with individuals across the lifespan, treating a range of presenting concerns, including: complex trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors, life transitions, minority stress, and family conflict.
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R
Laura Impert, LCSW-R has been practicing for over 25 years in the field with primarily students and adults. She has published in the field on grief and loss. Her belief is that therapy is most helpful when patients can understand the arc and narrative of their lives. Initially trained as a psychoanalyst, she believes some patients especially benefit from finding tools to regulate states of distress and heightened emotional arousal. Most valuable are the lifelong capacities to be curious and to self-reflect.
In the course of her practice, Laura has worked with patients around LGBTQ issues including work in the kink and poly community. Her work with the college age population focuses on helping students work through the developmental challenges of leaving home. First as a college counselor at Sarah Lawrence College, she sees students in the NYC area in her private practice. In addition to students, she is particularly interested in working with patients as they transition through new life stages, such as entering adulthood, divorce or separation issues, or patients facing illness and death.
Her publications in professional journals on clinical topics include mourning and grief and working with the isolated patient. These articles can be accessed on her website. www.lauraimpert.com

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Change often emerges under validating and supportive environment. In individual therapy, I thrive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mutual trust can occur to facilitate clients’ self-discovery. My style is genuine, empathic, and interactive. I listen with curiosity, pay close attention to my clients' verbal and non-verbal expressions, and aim to align my approaches with their priorities and goals. Together, my clients and I seek to unpack and co-construct meaning out of their life events with self-compassion. I am interested in helping clients get on a path toward working through the psychological trappings that are getting in their way.
In couples therapy, I work toward providing a safe environment to help clients and their partner(s) listen to one another better and communicate more constructively. I am interested in facilitating true emotional engagement for all parties. Attending to relationship dynamics and their family histories, I guide couples to address each partner’s attachment needs.
I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The City College of New York and have experience working in public and private hospitals, community mental health centers, and college counseling centers. I am also an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at The City College of New York and a post-degree candidate of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at NYU.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
I specialize in working with those who appear “okay” on the outside, but inside they’re overthinking, second-guessing, or bending themselves to keep others happy. Those who want to say no more often, strengthen their relationships, feel more confident, quiet their inner critics, or feel more at ease with their bodies. I provide virtual sessions for those in NY, CT, and NJ.
With compassion and curiosity I help people explore untangle patterns that are no longer serving them. My approach is drawn from evidence-based therapeutic modalities -- I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to best serve the unique needs of each person.
I do my best to bring my authentic self to session which means therapy with me is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative – with a touch of humor! I am passionate about my work as a therapist and I am deeply committed to helping people make positive changes in their lives.
If you’re ready to make lasting changes in your life, I encourage you to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to get comfortable, ask questions, and see if we could be a good fit.
