Professional statement

Laurie Buehler is an experienced psychotherapist based in rural upstate New York, offering remote sessions to clients California and New York states. She is available to meet on week days 9am to 7:30 pm to accomodate both PST and EST time zones. In 2023, she moved with her husband and son from the San Francisco Bay Area to rural upstate New York to adjust to climate change and embrace a simpler lifestyle that aligns with her deepest values.

With a Masters in Counseling from Dominican University and a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Colorado, Laurie has over twenty years of experience, including a decade in hospice care and work with children, teens, and young adults in school and community mental health settings. She has had a private psychotherapy practice since 2010.

Laurie primarily works from a somatic (mind-body) theoretical orientation. Early in her career, she transitioned from offering biofeedback to more effective, technology-free approaches. Her participation in silent meditation retreats has deepened her understanding of mindfulness and personal growth, which she incorporates into her practice. Other influences include AEDP (a relational approach), Non-Violent Communication, yoga, and intuitive studies.

Laurie is fluent in Spanish and has traveled extensively around the world. She is dedicated to connecting with our shared humanity and enjoys working with clients from various religious and cultural backgrounds. Laurie is passionate about helping clients of all ages transform anxiety, depression, grief, illness, trauma, and chronic pain into a fulfilling life.


Message to clients

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.

I have found that many of us feel disconnected from what matters most as daily distractions and chronic demands strip away our joy and deeper sense of purpose.  Consistently neglecting our needs for rest, creativity, and meaningful connections can lead to emotional distress, manifesting as anxiety, depression, illness, or addiction. A fulfilling life comes from redefining success on our terms and prioritizing quality of life despite our fear of making small to significant changes. We can align our lives with our true desires by confronting our profound truths and letting go of limiting beliefs.

In our work together, I am committed to helping you reclaim who you are and explore your core values amidst how you have gotten off course. This journey toward simplicity will empower you to recognize what truly matters in life and take practical steps forward.
