About Me
Ana Carla Laidley, LMFT
As a professional psychotherapist, I have dedicated my career to helping others help themselves. This is no simple task, however, psychotherapy is a tremendous and powerful tool for both self-improvement and personal growth. Throughout years of intense training in various counseling techniques, I found my mission is to be by my clients' side supporting their process of individuation. The clients are encouraged and assisted to find productive ways to solve their emotional problems…while simultaneously developing superior coping skills as they maneuver through the disturbances of daily life. Even the simplest of issues can be multi-factorial (i.e. involving fear, trauma, emotional conflict, and failed interpersonal relationships). Nevertheless through the use of therapy, one may develop the necessary tools to identify those underlying elements, therefore promoting personal growth, self-confidence, and overall improved quality of life.
