We become bound by shame, guilt or negative self-perceptions. These views shape how we show up in the world and frequently dictate what we feel we deserve and what we can achieve. Laura Kuzzy is a Minnesota-based counselor specializing in anxiety, eating disorders and mood disorders. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5db710015745684983de39f0/t/5db81dcb46fc6c26407848a6/1572347345098/WhatsApp+Image+2019-10-20+at+9.09.36+PM.jpeg LEK - How does it work? Therapy begins with a brief phone consultation to establish what you are looking for and find a time to meet in person. We will then have a complimentary 50 minute initial appointment where we can determine if the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. From there, we will agree upon a meeting schedule. We will close out our sessions when you feel your goals have been met and you are ready to move on. You may always return to therapy, if or when the need arises. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5db710015745684983de39f0/t/5dcc32762a03fa5b2d455b05/1573663399205/OOC_0332.jpg LEK - Connect In our work together, I believe you are the greatest resource we have.

In an environment of acceptance, compassion, structure and accountability, we will work together to create the growth you would like to see. I believe we are each unique, and I value the importance of tailoring my approach to your specific needs. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5db710015745684983de39f0/t/5dd17a7c39d8ba0c23a57693/1574009774039/OOC_0282.jpg LEK
