Laurie Pels-Roulier

Trauma and Performance Enhancement Therapy

Hi, I’m Laurie, a therapist based in Manchester, CT providing trauma and performance enhancement therapy for people all over Connecticut. My practice is a safe, compassionate space where your experience is unique and tailored to your specific needs and pace. Have you been searching for the answers about why you fall into the same patterns again and again? I help people find out the “why” of their issues and help them regain focus, clarity and inner resilience. I specialize in trauma based techniques to help you find the core issues keeping you from the life you want. I am an advanced practitioner of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and mindfulness-based techniques to help you process difficult events, and reduce distressing symptoms so you can gain a greater sense of calm and confidence for your life. Together we’ll work collaboratively to support healing and help you feel grounded in your daily life. You don’t have to walk this path alone.

More About Laurie

What Clients Are Saying

Laurie is a wonderful therapist. She cares about you as an individual and she listens. It is hard work to deal with your trauma. Laurie creates a safe and calm space which makes it easier to do the work to heal. Working with Laurie has helped me change my life for the better and live a life of peace. I highly recommend her.

Most amazing professional Laurie is a highly trained professional that will help you feel heard and cared for. Her experience with treating trauma from mild to severe was always brought forth. She shows she listens and cares, and helps move the treatment forward.

About a year and a half ago, I began to notice that something did not feel quite right. I was in a college setting where I often felt uncomfortable and pretty lost. I came into your office and left with a sense of confidence in myself. Eventually, that confidence built up and the anxiety started to drift away. I can now say that I have found a new sense of hope in life where I live not to get to the next day, but to enjoy every single minute of it.

I have seen many therapists since I was a very young person, and I can say without a doubt that Laurie is the best I have ever met and perhaps the only therapist I have met who has made a positive and lasting change in my life.

You got me through a significantly hard time in my life and helped me grow and heal in ways I couldn’t imagine… I am so grateful for that and I wanted to let you know that life is so good.

I sat on my couch and cried daily for two years straight. When I finally decided to get help, the place I went to seemed only interested in writing me a prescription. I barely understood what was wrong with me. I was going to give up, but I decided to try again with someone else. That someone else was Laurie. With barely an ounce of fighting spirit, I started to see her and it was the best decision I could have made for my life at that time. She listens, she gives it to you straight, and most of all, you can tell that she genuinely cares.
