Laurie Dolan

With more than 25 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. I specialize in working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, and depression, using a compassionate, strengths-based approach tailored to each child's unique needs. In addition, I collaborate with schools and families to coordinate support across home and school, helping children build confidence, strengthen relationships, and thrive. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and play therapy to help children build emotional awareness, develop effective coping skills, and increase confidence and resilience. I also partner closely with parents, providing practical strategies and support to foster lasting change at home. I work with children who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral and learning challenges. Therapy takes place in a friendly and welcoming therapeutic setting where various treatment modalities are employed through play, children's literature, mindfulness activities, and social emotional learning competencies. Choosing a therapist for your child is an important decision, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where children and families feel understood, respected, and empowered. I have dedicated my career to helping children, adolescents, and their families navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges.
