Carol Laperle, MFT

Carol has brought relief, healing, perspective, and coaching into my life during an ongoing crisis. Her care has been crucial to my ability to be a gentle, present parent to my young children amidst the chaos around us. She is skilled in EMDR, CBT, and talk therapy. She is straightforward without being judgmental. She makes me feel safe when speaking about deeply personal topics. With everything I bring her way, she knows how to listen, respond and help me work through it. I’m so, SO grateful for Carol.

I’ve worked with Carol for almost 2 years now. I appreciate how gentle she is and how easy she is to open up to. My favorite thing about our sessions, is her use of humor. It can be hard to dig into the deep stuff, but I appreciate that she lets me crack some jokes and has a very good sense of humor herself. I felt immediately understood by her and I felt comfortable enough to work through some really difficult things with her. I feel like myself for the first time in a long time and I credit much of that to Carol and all that she’s helped me to understand about myself. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you want to talk to someone who is super authentic and familiar.

Carol helped my daughter address her anxiety. Carol made my daughter feel comfortable and my daughter trusted her completely. My daughter was honest with her about her feelings and Carol was able to give her excellent advice and tools to help deal with difficult situations and feelings. My daughter does not need to see Carol on a regular basis now, but checks in with her when she has a need and knows that she can see her anytime that she needs to. We are very grateful for the help that Carol provided.

Carol is an excellent therapist. She has guided me through childhood traumas and helped me see how they are having an impact on my current thoughts and behavior. I have done EMDR and talk therapy with her and have found that both have led me to breakthroughs that I didn't think were possible. I am feeling stronger and less anxious than I have in a long time, which is completely due to my work with Carol.

Has been very helpful. One thing I appreciate is her willingness to go with a metaphor if that's how I begin describing my feelings.

My son has seen several therapists and, by far, Carol has been the best. Carol runs her practice efficiently meaning that my son is always seen on time which is important. She is patient, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Carol has helped my son immensely. I highly recommend her.

Carol LaPerle was born to be a therapist. She manages to combine her professional knowledge with an instinctual sense of what's needed for her client. I've done EMDR with her as well as relaxation techniques to overcome the trauma I was left with after a really bad divorce, along with talk therapy; her personality blends with her skill to create a safe, welcoming, and oh-so comfortable environment where real work gets done. I feel extremely lucky to have Carol as someone I can turn to and just knowing she's there offers me much needed peace of mind. And who doesn't need peace? Carol is simply the best.

Carol Laperle is by far the best therapist I've worked with. We have been using EMDR for about a year to treat my anxiety related to past trauma. She is extremely adept at sensing shifts in me that may indicate unresolved issues, and she always takes time to ensure those are completely resolved before moving on. Many times, I have left her office feeling relief and a sense of freedom from once-traumatic memories. I now better understand myself and the role my past plays in my current choices and behavior, and I feel equipped with strategies to deal with any anxiety that arises. I also appreciate that Carol points out positive changes in my behavior and takes time to celebrate my successes. Not only is she a highly experienced therapist, but she is also extremely attuned to my needs and is laser-focused on helping me achieve my goals. As someone with years of experience with other therapists, I can attest that Carol is a rare find. She has truly changed my life.

Carol LaPerle is outstanding at addressing PTSD and recovery from traumatic experiences. Using EMDR and additional strategies, Carol was able to move me from debilitating anxiety and difficult, recurring memories to a place where I am able to manage things and resume my normal activities, both personal and professional. Carol's manner was very welcoming, calming, positive, kind, and extremely respectful of my needs and progress ... and she paced the sessions according to what was happening for me. This means that Carol worked hard to stay attuned to even the smallest changes and was extremely thorough, ensuring that she did not move on until issues had been addressed. She also taught me that trauma recovery is very non-linear, so even strategies for daily activity were so helpful and reassuring -- it's important to feel that one will find a path back to a sense of normalcy and emotional safety. Carol LaPerle was for me an invaluable source of mental health support in every regard.

Carol is hands down, the best, most effective therapist I have ever been to.
