Laura M. Symon Therapy & Counseling
Whether you're coping with trauma, anxiety, loss, or life transitions, therapy can help you feel more grounded and empowered. I will meet you where you are and utilize evidence based practices for your unique needs—at your pace, with the care and respect you deserve.
In addition, I offer user friendly and HIPPA compliant Telehealth platforms that make it easy to access services. Telehealth is beneficial in the event that in-person sessions aren’t available to travel to my Sarasota location, you are ill, or otherwise more comfortable in another setting.
Please note that therapy in my practice is for adults only.
What’s the difference between Laura Symon Coaching and Consulting and traditional therapy?
In traditional talk therapy, a therapist uses a clinical skill set to assess and diagnose as well as determine a treatment plan. Coaching and consulting looks to the future, is goal oriented, and helps you realize powerful outcomes in a way that goes beyond what you’ve accomplished with other therapists in the past. There is no diagnosis, no label, and simply a straightforward approach to health and wellness.
Getting Started
Starting therapy can sometimes be an overwhelming experience, and we’ve tried to simplify the process for an easy transition. If you are interested in services, please consider the following steps:
-
Step 1:
Starting therapy takes an investment of time, money, and emotional resources. Successful clients make themselves a priority. Before committing to change, please take a moment to consider if you are ready to invest what is needed to make a change in your life.
Step 2:If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, please call the office to schedule a free initial phone consultation and to see if this office is accepting new clients.
Step 3:If a decision is made during the phone consultation to schedule an intake assessment, please print out, sign, and date each form. Save each document in a separate PDF file and attach them to the form on the contact page. This includes the Initial Assessment, Consent to Treat, Financial Consent, Good Faith Estimate and Credit Card form. Please note that an appointment can’t be scheduled until each form is received in it’s entirety.

Clients:
If you’re wanting help on setting boundaries, learning how to say no to toxic people in your life, improving your relationships, and practicing good self-care, then we invite you to step into the light of self-awareness and onto the road of personal growth with therapeutic services. Some clients seek therapeutic services proactively to improve communication skills in an already healthy marriage or to help resolve conflict successfully. Other clients need assistance with balancing work, family, and other stresses in their life in a healthy way. Still others are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety, or have been through past trauma and grief and loss.
For all of these concerns and others, I am able to work with you in an understanding and nonjudgmental environment. I can only imagine your hurt on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level and can help transform you into a stronger individual that has survived adversity and triumphed over hurt. My office specializes in the many dimensions of past or current sexual abuse as well as working with individuals and couples in sexual and relationship recovery as a female CSAT. I will help guide you through recovery in a compassionate and gentle manner to sustain lasting change and can work with couples through the disclosure process with or without the use of a polygraph.
