Mori Laura MFT

Laura A. Mori, MFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience helping couples and individuals improve their lives and relationships. With a small, welcoming office in downtown Palo Alto, she sees clients on a weekly basis, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore, cope with, and resolve their problems.

Couples Therapy

Couples often seek therapy in response to a crisis, seeking a non-judgmental third-party to help them manage the situation and their resulting feelings. Laura provides a safe container for couples to explore, coping with and resolving their problems, which may include affairs, intimacy or financial issues, conflict, loss of connection, or questions about the future of their relationship. Often, other personal issues and stressors contribute to their relationship challenges, such as addictions, career dissatisfaction, parenting, family of origin, or self-esteem issues. Through exploration and empathy, Laura helps both partners develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences. By working together, couples can develop new levels of trust and communication, gaining the skills to resolve future problems.

Individual Therapy

Individuals who seek Laura's help may be experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression due to various issues. Some may struggle establishing or maintaining relationships, resolving conflicts with significant others, family, friends, and co-workers. Others may be dealing with addictions and sobriety, career re-evaluations, life transitions, and parenting issues, as well as problems resulting from low self-esteem. In session, Laura provides a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their relationships and experiences, past and present, to better understand and eventually transform uncertainty, overwhelming feelings, unwanted but unrelenting behaviors, and relationship problems. The therapeutic relationship Laura establishes with her clients provides a supportive environment for them to develop a stronger sense of themselves, their issues, and more effective ways of relating to others and managing their lives.
