A place to REBOOT

REBOOT was created by Laurie Dierstein, LCSW based on her experiences over more than fifteen years working in the mental health field.

Laurie was first exposed to mental health treatment in Boston, MA where she worked with institutionalized adults in a state psychiatric hospital. She then dove into community-based care while living on the island of Oahu, HI where she worked as a crisis counselor and provided street side interventions to the school system, the homeless population, hospitals, + rural communities. It was in this role that Laurie adopted the approach of improving self-care while focusing on nutrition + physical activity as practical ways to improve mood + confidence. This approach was further strengthened in Laurie’s mind after years of working in children’s psychiatric hospital administration as a department head and witnessing the impact of a strong medical model on the lives of children + their families. While there is a place for this level of care, Laurie believes more interventions should be preventive + proactive in an effort to preserve a client’s sense of independence + control in managing their own health. 

Thus, Laurie founded Beach Counseling, LLC in 2016 as an attempt to bring this approach to treatment.  In her outpatient practice, she initially worked with clients diagnosed with chronic diseases, primarily infertility + problems affecting fertility. She also worked with a large number of clients diagnosed with borderline diabetes + diabetes. 

REBOOT Mind Body Health was then born from the positive experiences Laurie’s clients had in their treatment + their ability to easily apply treatment concepts to shorten the duration of therapy. 

In 2020, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Laurie founded a second clinic specifically designed to meet the physical health needs of her clients + community. REBOOT Functional Health Care is a functional medicine + holistic primary care clinic dedicated to finding + treating the root cause of chronic illness/disease while restoring the body’s innate function + healing potential. The care team at Functional Health Care weaves traditional + nontraditional treatment methods together to offer a simple + modern approach to healthcare for all ages.

At REBOOT, we believe our clients are capable of learning how to work within + overcome the challenges they are faced with. We believe our clients are motivated to work with our various providers to develop skills to become their best selves. We believe when our clients invest in themselves, invest in focusing on a lifetime of health + continued improvement, they can regain control. We make every effort to work within the limits of our clients’ lives – their schedules, their habits, their barriers – to make this process as easy as possible.
