Laura Muzaffar, LMFT

Welcome to my practice

Hello! Welcome- I'm so glad you've found me! I commend the courage you've already generated to reach for another human for support and guidance. I believe true healing comes when we take the emotional risk to expose our truth to a loving other. I want to be that person in your life; to be alongside you as you uncover the essence of who you are. To identify the elements of your life, and history, that shaped you and the ways in which you may have lost self-trust and inward love for yourself along the way.

  • Services

    Individual Therapy Individual work encompasses exploration of early childhood attachment, and family of origin dynamics. I focus on increasing insight about how your innate traits, and the conditions of your environment/quality of relationships, interacted to make you...you. From this awareness, I believe more compassion for the self is born and an increase in self- trust. I also teach ways of coping through strategies based in mindfulness and radical self-acceptance.

  • Services

    Couples TherapyCouples work will invite both members of a couple to gain insight and understanding of their own "stuff"- what they want, need and what they carry with them from previous relationships- especially the primary ones. They will also learn ways to share with, and listen more intently to, their partner. Effective communication happens when one can respond without taking the other's experience personally; without reacting from a place of defensiveness, anger or shame.

  • Services

    Teen Therapy Adolescence is a busy time in development. In addition to significant changes to body, and an often complicated time socially, teens are tasked with identity formation- figuring out who the heck they are and what they're about. I love helping children of this age come into their truth and navigate all of the complexities of adolescence.

Fees

I am a private pay practice; I don't take any insurance. I am able to supply clients, who receive out of network benefits, a superbill for reimbursement claims. My fees are commesurate with other LMFTs in the Bay Area. I can be flexible; I can work with you, and your financial circumstances, when setting a rate for service. Rates will be discussed/decided ahead of our work together.
I offer in person sessions at my office in central Berkeley, as well as online teletherapy. If you'd like to chat before booking, I offer free consultation phone calls. See my contact information below. I welcome texts, phone calls, or email.
