Laura Reisman, MSW, is excited to be joining the Flourish team as a Registered Social Worker, focusing on the health and well being of women and families. For the past 6 years Laura has worked with children and their families as a frontline trauma Social Worker. Her own experience navigating the challenges caused by infertility led to furthering her education to more capably support clients encountering the same complex, emotional, and disorienting world of fertility and parenthood.

Along with a Masters in Social Work, Laura formally trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and has studied Mindfulness, Talk Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Laura has also received accreditation by Postpartum Support International, the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Training, and is a registered member of the National Association of Perinatal Social Workers.

Through a client centred approach, utilizing tailored techniques and modalities, Laura ensures counselling meets each individual’s needs. During sessions she can help you identify, develop, and strengthen coping skills, while also finding effective solutions to individual problems. Whether you are struggling with infertility, perinatal mood disorders, burnout, past traumas, career changes, or difficult partner and family relationships, Laura is here to offer you a safe space to talk.

Laura strives to build a strong therapeutic alliance which will be the foundation of your work together, and she is committed to making your time in therapy a stimulating and supportive environment.
