Laurie Edwards

Laurie Edwards, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and faculty member at Yale University who is also a certified yoga teacher. She specializes in anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, depression, perfectionism, workaholism, burnout, life transitions, and stress-related chronic health problems.

Dr. Edwards uses acceptance-oriented strategies such as self-compassion and change-oriented approaches like cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies; she also incorporates hypnotherapy, psychodynamic techniques, and systems approaches. Her work blends these modalities into an integrative mind-body approach combining evidence-based psychological techniques with the mindful practices of yoga.

She aims to provide a safe therapeutic space that emphasizes self-compassion and helps clients develop a deeper connection with themselves while addressing both symptoms and underlying patterns.
