Laura Maynard
Dr. Maynard (formerly Dr. Dietmann) is a warm and compassionate psychologist who specializes in treating individuals with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal problems. She enjoys working with young adults around identity development, adjustment to life and role transitions, navigating relationships, and stress management. Dr. Maynard also has extensive experience providing support and coaching to parents of school-aged children who are hoping to integrate more balance and self-care into their daily lives. She is passionate about building genuine relationships with her clients and creating a safe, supportive environment to identify and reach their therapy goals.
Approach to therapy
Dr. Maynard utilizes an integrative therapy approach and recognizes that each client has unique strengths, past experiences that have shaped them, and desired areas for growth. Dr. Dietmann incorporates techniques from relational, psychodynamic, attachment, and cognitive behavioral therapies to help clients build insight and self-awareness into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and increase their ability to cope with uncomfortable emotions and stressors as they arise. Dr. Dietmann supports clients as they explore the impact of past experiences on their current functioning and works collaboratively with clients to develop a repertoire of healthy coping skills.
