Laurie Ganberg, LICSW & Fiddlehead Therapy

I'm a clinical social worker, therapist, supervisor, educator, community builder, parent, and avid book lover. I used to work in a tiny, independent bookstore so I'm excited to be able to support independent bookstores through Bookshop! 

 

Here are some of my favorite books: to support families through transitions related to family building, pregnancy, birth and parenting; to share with the children in your life and maybe even read aloud for yourself; to center ourselves in body liberation; to process grief and loss; and a few recommendations for other therapists. 

 

Also, many of these books are available from the library! Libby is a great, free app to connect to your local library and borrow e-books and audiobooks.
