Get to know our down-to-earth, compassionate, and dedicated therapists.
Tall Oaks Counseling was founded on a commitment to redefining the experience of therapy through evidence-based practice, meaningful connection, and collaborative care.
High-Quality Therapy
Our practice doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. This means our therapists can focus on using trauma-informed, evidence-based practices while using their specialized knowledge and training to create meaningful change in their clients’ lives. You get individualized care that is goal-oriented and purposeful.
Genuine Relationships
While our therapists take pride in their qualifications, they understand that connection is the cornerstone of healing. We believe that when our therapists show up authentically, their clients will too. At Tall Oaks, we are deeply passionate about helping you navigate the complexities of life and strive to build lasting connections along the way.
TLDR: Your growth is our priority.
Our founder: Laura Pisani
Being a therapist is not just listening— it’s being invited into someone’s complex inner world and planting a seed of hope.
At first glance, I fit neatly into the classic people-pleasing, anxious, parentified-child turned therapist trope. Except, I didn’t always know I wanted to be a therapist. What I did know, was there are people who need specialized, no-frills support and don’t know how to get it.
After graduating with a degree in Criminal Justice and my own less than helpful encounters with therapy, I made a hard turn. Fueled by curiosity and a desire to create change from within a broken system, I dove head first into my career. In graduate school my passion for justice, equity, connection, creativity, and questioning nearly everything, became evident.
Opening Tall Oaks Counseling in 2021 was my way of saying “to hell with one-size-fits all therapy factories”. I wanted clients to know that the therapist they were seeing is the real deal; No blank slates, no generic worksheets, no hoops to jump through to speak with a human. I wanted clients to know there’s hope and healing is possible.
Through the years my motivation expanded beyond just helping my clients, to opening my practice up to other like-minded therapists. Together, we share a vision of offering specialized, professional, and down-to-earth therapy to help our clients make real and tangible change in their lives.
I’m glad you’re here.
