Laura S. Porter, PhD

I am a clinical psychologist who uses collaborative, solution-oriented approaches (including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies) to help patients understand and to resolve the challenges they face. I have a particular focus in helping patients with chronic illness and their family members cope with the symptoms and psychological demands of their disease. I can assist individuals and couples with a number of different concerns, such as psychological distress (depression, anxiety), pain and symptom management, treatment adherence, sleep difficulties, sexual concerns, relationship difficulties, and caregiving issues. I believe that therapy can be an effective tool for anyone who is looking for support and guidance during a challenging time or anyone who would like to enhance his ability to achieve life goals.
