LAURIE LAUTURE-BEST, LCSW

Clinician (Under supervision of Tracey Taldon, LICSW)

Hello! My name is Laurie Lauture-Best, LCSW, I am an MSW graduate from Springfield College. I'm Haitian-American, bilingual in English and Haitian-Creole. I take pride in following my passion for service, while supporting and guiding clients in our community. I have worked in the field serving communities and people of color, while serving as an advocate for them.

Using a strength-based approach, I work together with clients and families, to focus on holistic growth goals, focusing on assisting clients through experiences with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also specialize in serving vulnerable teen and adult populations that may struggle dealing with cultural conflicts in their lives as well.

I truly value, honor and understand the importance of self-care and use my own time following my personal passions and interests in traveling, experiencing the world and other cultures. While I am not on a plane headed to my next adventure or next travel destination, I enjoy quiet moments found and created in reading and spending time with my beloved family.

My goal is to help you develop a healthy perception of yourself, and inspire you to experience the maximum potential life has to offer. We will accomplish this by working together to build a treatment plan with realistic goals.
