About Me
My Story
HI, I am Laurie Sloane, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist.
In addition to a master’s degree in social work, I have a post-graduate certificate in
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I participate in continuing education courses and seminars to insure I am incorporating the latest theoretical ideas and clinical practice techniques.
For many years I worked with veterans living in Long Island. I was a founding member of Here to Help Military and Families, a volunteer therapy service for returning Vets and their families.
During Covid when the demand was at an all-time high, I worked with college counselling services throughout New York State, providing remote therapy to college age students.
There has been increased interest in Menopause in general and specifically in my own practice. More women are entering therapy during this life altering phase of mental and physical transition.
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 providing therapy to women of all ages. Eating disorders, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and isolation are some of the problems that bring women to treatment.
As baby boomers are aging, they are learning about the value they continue to contribute to society. Life after 65 is an important yet overlooked developmental phase.
Psychotherapy can help open the door to this significant chapter in later life.
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.
