Laura G. Kogan
Clinical Psychologist, Psy.D.Online Therapy
Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!

I view therapy as both an art and a science, integrating mindfulness, feminist, and evidence-based interventions into traditional psychotherapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic, CBT, and ACT modalities. My experience includes treating clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, identity conflicts, life transitions, family conflict, self-esteem, body image, oppression, and chronic illness.

Many of the people I work with are navigating faith transitions, deconstructing long-held beliefs, or healing from the impact of high-control or authoritarian religion. Some come from Mormon or fundamentalist Christian backgrounds and are looking for a safe, supportive space to explore who they are outside of those systems. They’re often seeking clarity, connection, and a more authentic sense of self—even if they’re not sure where to begin.

I work with adults across the lifespan, including adolescents transitioning into adulthood; this includes individual, family, couple, and relationship work. I often meet people at transitional moments when anxiety, depression, relational conflict, or symptoms of trauma surface. Our work is to learn how you arrived at this moment and in what ways we move forward together. I have worked extensively with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I help children, teens, adults and families work through issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with chronic illness, domestic violence, trauma, divorce and relationship transitions, addiction, parenting support, bullying and school related stress, opposition and anger. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I will be accepting, flexible and non-judgmental, whether you're exploring questions around gender identity and/or sexual orientation, or just need someone who gets it.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and/or trauma? Have you developed maladaptive coping strategies over the years to manage distress from these experiences, such as an eating disorder, substance use, self-harm, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), to name a few? I offer a combined approach to addressing not only these symptoms, the underlying factors, and re-imagining the role that these disorders play in your daily life.

You’re someone looking for a new way to explore your emotions and experiences—whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. You might be neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum, or managing more complex mental health concerns like Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). In our work together, we’ll use drama therapy to uncover insights, express what feels hard to say, and create real, lasting change in a space where you feel seen and understood.

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.

I work with couples, family members, and individuals experiencing disconnection, anger, or distress in their intimate relationships. I work with couples who report a breakdown in communication, difficulty repairing broken trust or who are finding their footing again after the transition to parenthood. In my work with individuals, I see adults who are in transition or are hoping to gain greater insight about themselves.

Most of my clients wish they could have a life with more joy, more fulfillment, or more abundance. They want to feel greater satisfaction in their relationships, career, or sense of self…but oftentimes, they don’t know where to start. I typically work with people who are looking to develop greater self-acceptance, learn better coping skills, and develop healthier relationship dynamics in order to find a greater sense of satisfaction in life. If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone.

Jeanie loves working with individuals who are drawn to deep inner exploration—spiritual seekers, creatives, and those on a healing journey who are ready to engage with psychedelic-assisted therapy as a tool for transformation. She especially enjoys supporting those who are integrating mystical experiences, seeking meaning in life transitions, or working through trauma with the aid of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
I best serve individuals and partners exploring identity, sexuality, and non-traditional relationships. Whether you're part of LGBTQ+, kink, or polyam communities, questioning societal norms, or navigating complex relationship dynamics, you'll find a welcoming space here. My clients often come seeking support around sexual expression, gender exploration, or building authentic relationships while managing anxiety, trauma, or shame.
