Dear Laura
Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I’m also a writer and advice columnist for the Fayetteville Flyer. My bi-weekly column, Dear Laura, anonymously addresses a question, dilemma, or confession from the Dear Laura inbox. Submit your question to dearlaura@fayettevilleflyer.com and read my previous columns here.
