Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Life is hard, and sometimes life gets messy. Relationships get complicated, emotions get overwhelming, and even when you know something needs to change, you may not know where to start. That's where therapy can help.
My goal is not simply to give you a place to vent (although there is certainly a time and place for that!). I want to help you understand why you're feeling the way you do, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and figure out what you can actually do differently. Therapy should give you insight, but it should also give you tools you can use in real life- to make life easier.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of emotional concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, fear, jealousy, negativity, and feeling overwhelmed or confused. I also have extensive experience working with compulsive and addictive behaviors, including sex and love addiction, codependency, and impulsive behaviors.
Relationships are another major area of my practice. I help people work through conflict, communication problems, infidelity, broken trust, intimacy concerns, breakups, and relationship recovery. I also offer premarital and pre-divorce counseling for couples who want to make thoughtful decisions about their future rather than simply react to what's happening in the moment.
I also work with families who have reached an impasse—situations where communication has broken down, hurt and resentment have accumulated, or family members simply cannot seem to agree on how to move forward. Sometimes everyone involved has a different version of what happened, and everyone feels justified in their position. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help family members communicate more effectively, understand one another's perspectives, establish healthier boundaries, and determine whether there is a path forward. When families have been stuck for a long time, even finding a way to have a productive conversation can be meaningful progress.
I work with social and personal issues as well, including assertiveness, self-esteem, external validation, peer pressure, bullying, communication, forgiveness, and other challenges that can make it difficult to feel confident and comfortable in your own life.
My approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. In practical terms, that means we'll look at the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while focusing on what can be changed moving forward. I don't believe you need to spend years analyzing every detail of your past in order to make meaningful progress. Understanding where your patterns came from can be helpful, but learning how to change them is what ultimately creates a different future.
Therapy isn't about being perfect, and it's definitely not about pretending that problems don't exist. We all make mistakes, get stuck in unhealthy patterns, and occasionally make choices we wish we could take back. The important part is what you do next.
My job is to help you move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain toward greater clarity, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of control over your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That's part of what we're here to figure out together.

Laura Forcella Spiering
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LIMHP
Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with worry, health anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, or doubt? Is it interfering with your relationships, sleep, or well-being? If so, you don’t have to pretend you are okay or struggle alone. I know it is hard to make the time for yourself, especially if you're used to caring for others. It is time for you to slow down and focus on your own needs so you can start building the life you want.
I’m skilled in supporting clients with anxiety, stress, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, and depression to develop better coping skills so that you can attain better balance, increase confidence, and enhance your emotional well-being. You don’t have to keep pretending you are okay or face these challenges alone. I also work with other therapists, caregivers, and helpers who are used to supporting everyone else but are ready for support of their own. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.
In our therapy sessions, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can comfortably explore your thoughts and feelings. There are many reasons we become stuck. Together, we can discover what is holding you back from living your best life.
