Dr. Laura Trakhtman

Dr. Laura Trakhtman is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist committed to helping you lead a happier, more productive, and emotionally-healthy life. As a health psychologist, she is especially well-suited to working with those of you who live with serious illness, chronic pain, or high stress of any kind, and with the depression, anxiety, and relationship tensions that often accompany them. She builds upon the strengths of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with mind-body techniques and creative, collaborative approaches that allow you to make use of all available resources—emotional, physical, spiritual, relational, and community.

In addition, Dr. Trakhtman has chosen to focus on the sensitive area of trauma—assessing and treating the pain and disruption that might result from abuse, divorce, loss, violence, or other psychologically-overwhelming experiences. She is therefore certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), believed to be one of the most effective treatments available for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Dr. Trakhtman’s work is guided by a strong multicultural framework that considers each person’s strengths and unique experiences. She is fluent in both English and Russian. She is available for therapy, assessment, and consultation with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
