Dr. Laura Ruesjas

Sometimes, navigating life’s challenges on your own can feel overwhelming. If you’re like many of my clients, you’re a resourceful individual or family facing a difficult time. As an experienced clinical psychologist, I provide compassionate support to adolescents (11+), parents, families, and adults, helping them overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, grief, ADHD, eating disorders, and family dynamics.

In addition to therapy, I have extensive experience conducting psycho-educational, psycho-emotional, and clinical assessments for young adolescents, teenagers, and adults. These evaluations provide valuable insights into learning difficulties, ADHD, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive and psychological well-being. Whether you’re seeking clarity for school accommodations, workplace adjustments, or personal growth, my goal is to offer comprehensive, evidence-based assessments that lead to meaningful support and tailored recommendations.

Having lived in multiple cultures, I understand the complexities of expatriate life. I support individuals and families navigating transitions, cultural displacement, new job adjustments, third-culture teen challenges, and the unique struggles of trailing spouses who may feel isolated or uncertain about their identity.

Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, I offer sessions in person in Shanghai or online from anywhere in China. If you’re considering therapy or an assessment, I invite you to a free 20-minute, no-obligation consultation to discuss your concerns and explore how I can help. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to support you on your journey.
