Psychotherapy Services

In-Person  •  Virtual  •  Walk & Talk 

At Laura Bruno Psychotherapy, we offer a variety of therapy services to support you — and your loved ones — through whatever life throws your way. Whether you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, carrying trauma, or just trying to hold it all together, we’re here for you.


We believe therapy should be flexible and meet you where you’re at. That’s why we offer in-person sessions, virtual therapy, and walk-and-talk ecotherapy, giving you the freedom to choose the space that feels safest and most helpful for your healing journey.
Our approach is down-to-earth and personalized, blending science-backed tools with genuine connection. Above all, we create a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are — messy, in progress, healing, human.


Whether you prefer the comfort of a traditional office, the ease of connecting from home, or the grounding calm of nature, our collective goal remains the same — to support your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.

Who We Support

Psychotherapy

Individuals

Life can feel heavy sometimes. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or just not quite yourself, individual therapy can give you space to breathe, reflect, and start to feel like you again. We’ll meet you wherever you're at — no pressure, no judgment. Our team blends different approaches to help you reconnect with your body, your values, and your voice.

 

​​

Child Therapy

Children & Youth

Kids and teens process the world differently — and they need support that meets them where they’re at. We work with young people (ages 6+) who are navigating big feelings, stress at school, family changes, low confidence, or emotional ups and downs. We keep things creative, playful, and safe, using a mix of talk, movement, and expressive tools to help them open up in their own way. And because the whole family system matters, we involve parents and caregivers every step of the way.

Couples 

Relationships can be beautiful — and complicated. Whether you're dating, married, queer, co-parenting, or somewhere in between, we help couples work through communication blocks, rebuild trust, and feel more connected again. We create a calm, neutral space where both partners feel heard and supported. Using research-backed approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, we help you understand each other more deeply and move forward together.

Group Therapy

Families

Family life can be intense. When things start to feel disconnected, chaotic, or emotionally charged, we’re here to help. Family therapy can be a space to slow down, hear one another differently, and learn how to navigate conflict in healthier ways. Whether it’s parent-child struggles, blended family stress, or ongoing tension in the home, we’ll support your family in building stronger communication and connection. Our approach is attachment-focused and always centered on emotional safety.

What to Expect

Step 1

Getting to Know Each Other

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. You can share what brings you to therapy and what your goals are. Don't worry, we'll guide the session and create a safe space for you. It's like a casual coffee chat to build our connection. Plus, you'll leave with a helpful tool or takeaway to start using right away.

STEP 3

Growing and Learning Together

Each session is tailored to your needs, to help you build skills to overcome challenges and move forward. Remember, therapy works best when you put in effort outside our sessions. We'll give you a takeaway each time to reflect on or practice. By engaging in this process, you'll evolve, learn more about yourself, and move toward the life you want.

STEP 2

Understanding Your Background

In the following sessions, we'll dive into your background to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what's holding you back. We'll go at your pace, making sure you feel comfortable. This is where we gain insight into your experiences and patterns affecting your life.

STEP 4

Maintaining Progress

As you make progress, we will gradually decrease sessions so you can reflect, address concerns, and fine-tune skills. The goal is for you to feel confident and self-reliant in managing your well-being. We're always here for occasional check-ins or tune-ups to help you continue thriving.

Woman Walking in Forest

Walk and Talk Therapy

Healing in Motion. Conversations that Move You — Literally.

Walk and Talk Therapy offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional therapy office. By taking sessions outdoors, we invite movement into the healing process — helping you feel more grounded, connected, and at ease. Walking side-by-side in nature can make it easier to open up, process emotions, and reduce the intensity of difficult conversations.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or simply feel more comfortable in motion, Walk and Talk Therapy creates space for clarity, calm, and connection — both to yourself and your environment.

If you're curious about trying this approach, chat with your therapist to see if it’s a good fit and to arrange a time and location that works for you.
