About Me
My Story
Hi! I am Laurie Sloane, NYC Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
I have always been interested in what makes us who we are. How much is nature or nurture, what are we born with and how does the environment shape us. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for people to make meaning about their lives, the choices they make in school, work and love.
Over the past 30 years, a combination of diverse professional experiences and extensive training have made me the therapist I am today. In addition to a Master’s Degree in Social Work, I have participated in continuing education courses and seminars to ensure that I am incorporating the latest in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy techniques.
I joined the faculty of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center (PPSC), a post- graduate training institute, and served as the Executive Director for 10 years. During my tenure, I taught and supervised candidates, developed an internship program for graduate students, and worked to establish guidelines for training and licensure in New York.
More recently, I identified the unique needs of menopausal women in my practice. This led to support groups for menopausal women, addressing the need for support, information and communication with other women going through the same type of experience.
Young adults
Of late, more attention has been focused on the well-being of anxious, depressed and suicidal students on college campuses. I have worked with many students trying to adjust to life away from home. The social and academic pressures of college can bring about the emergence of major mental illness and addiction that needs to be addressed with the proper treatment. In addition to individual sessions, I also offer group treatment to college students and young adults.
Women of all ages
I have extensive experience in counseling women of all ages who suffer from eating disorders. Today, there are a variety of treatments available; I’m able to help navigate through the options and figure out which will work best on a case by case basis.
As baby boomers are aging, they are learning that menopause no longer spells the end. Life after 65 continues to be an important, yet often overlooked part of adult development. I’m able to offer support in either individual or group therapy sessions for women navigating midlife and beyond.
Men’s Mental Health
Men often carry the weight of societal expectations—being the provider, the protector, or always “keeping it together.” Yet beneath this surface, many men face challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma that are too often left unspoken.
Therapy provides a judgment-free space to address these struggles and offers tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.
Relationships
Over the past 30 years, I’ve learned a lot about relationships and the value in sharing our thoughts and feelings with friends and partners. Knowing we are being listened to, valued and understood is crucial to emotional wellbeing.
