Laura Picard Therapy

LAURA PICARD, MA, LMFT #135100

FEATURED MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST
Do you find yourself overthinking, being your own worst critic or feeling overwhelmed by emotions you can’t quite explain?

For many women, teens and young adults, anxiety can appear as perfectionism, peoplepleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, selfdoubt or persistent negative beliefs.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Laura Picard specializes in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem and challenging relationship patterns.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT’S BENEATH THE SURFACE
You may appear to have everything together while quietly struggling with self-doubt, loneliness or the pressure to meet others’ expectations. Past experiences can influence how you see yourself, connect with others and feel secure in relationships.

Laura helps clients understand these patterns, develop self-compassion and change the beliefs and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THERAPY
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Laura combines deeper emotional healing with practical tools for everyday life.

Her approach helps clients better understand themselves, manage intense emotions, strengthen relationships and establish healthier boundaries.
