She helps us understand what the other person may be feeling or perceiving, which then helps us come to a mutual understanding. I would (and already have!) referred others to her practice - she truly helped our relationship return to a very healthy place!

Mary has a kind and grounded presence and an excellent ability to hold space for big emotions in the room. I love the approach she takes in calling one back to one's body to locate where an emotion or feeling is held, which I find extremely helpful in the process of releasing it. Her compassion paired with her wonderful sense of humor brings a lovely balance and lightness into her work. Mary is an excellent listener and provides clear and succinct reflection during our sessions. I have found her to be extremely helpful for couples sessions and my partner and I have benefited from her counsel. We have gained better listening and communication skills with each other which needless to say, helps our relationship hugely! Also, she accepts MediCal which made it possible for us to see her every week. Definitely highly recommend Mary!

My parents sent me to Laurie when I was a young teenager. I was a bullied gay male trying to get…read morethrough Petaluma Jr. High and then Petaluma High. Laurie helped me build my self esteem and self confidence and really helped shape who I am as an adult. I am 30 now and can look back at how I saw things as a kid. I would like to tell kids who are suicidal that life doesn't even begin until after High School and that problems that seem so huge at the time don't even exist later in life. I can honestly say that if Laurie didn't help mediate my relationship with my parents and help guide me through school as a lost little boy, I wouldn't be here today. If you are looking for a family therapist, there is no better choice than Laurie Roth. I can not endorse her enough. Thank you Laurie!!!

At various times she has helped my then-9 year old son get the help he needed for depression related to an undiagnosed learning disability; she's helped mediate disagreements with my teenage son about video games and worked with him privately as well. She has worked with my husband and I on relationship issues on and off for years. That we are still together is due to her. We all feel as Laurie understands us and appreciates us. We trust that she has our best interests at heart and that she can help us to deal with whatever issue we are facing. Our lives would be very different without her help.

Doug's gentle but clear communication, his commitment to mindfulness, and support of the individual qualities of each and every kid, has benefited my son in finding a sound emotional foundation, and more freedom to express himself appropriately and clearly. Sending a kid to hang out with Doug in the woods, there's nothing but gains to be had.

It is a unique approach that gives kids the opportunity to be as big as they need to be, get in touch with their bodies and emotions, learn how to make friends, interact with peers, and resolve conflicts ~ all while having fun and learning about nature. I would recommend this group without reservation!
