More about Laura

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • Psychologist

Welcome, I am Dr. Fernandez, or you can call me Laura. I am a licensed psychologist and the owner of Mindful Freedom. If you have suffered from narcissistic abuse, ethnic or racial discrimination, have gone through traumatic events or have low self esteem; I employ evidence based treatments to help treat these problems. I specialize in treatment of BPD, narcissistic abuse, PTSD, Anxiety and Depression.. My typical client is a person who has experienced trauma, has self esteem and boundary issues, has problems maintaining relationships, needs help asserting self, and needs guidance to make important life decisions. Hablo Espanol!

Most of my clients struggle with relationship/marital issues, depression, anxiety, panic symptoms, low self esteem, assertiveness, and boundary issues. I am LGBT affirming, and have extensive experience working with minorities, as I am a minority myself.

If you are ready to change your life, remember, this may be the single small step that drives you towards a big change in life. You have nothing to lose, except for an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world around you. Questions? Please send me an email and I am happy to help you. I hope to see you soon! Laura.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
