Fear & anxiety does not have to control your everyday thoughts and cultivating joy is possible! Choosing to get help is the first step towards change.. Please contact Lori at Connectionscounselingaz.com I am a experienced clinician that treats the mind, body, and spirit.

When I meet someone for the first time, I create a safe place free of judgement and open for them to tell their story. As they speak, I hear their words and voice tone. I look at their face, eyes, hands, feet, whole body, energy and see what they are also telling me. Then I develop a sense of who they are.

With over 35 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I draw upon a number of therapeutic modalities to help you in your personal growth. Puzzled by some of the things that you do that don't make logical sense? We will explore why they make emotional sense. Though many times you may not feel connected to your resiliency or trust that it is even present, our work is meant to promote accessing more of your own inner resources. A person needs to address issues not just mentally, but also emotionally. Emotional wounds need to be healed emotionally.

When we invest in the process of self-inquiry we expand our capacity for living an authentic life. Having a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which to do this can make all the difference. Holding space for my client's exploration is a privilege, therefore, the therapeutic relationship is based on respect, presence, and at times, the challenge of finding answers to difficult questions.

I enjoy working with people with a wide range of issues including: trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, etc. I obtained my Masters in Educational Psychology at Northern Arizona University and currently working as an LAC. My mission is to help people deal with emotional challenges and focus on their goals. My therapy style is eclectic, emphasizing a person-centered approach that is tailored to the unique needs of clients.

Changing and healing are possible! They happen with intention, guidance, “facing in”, courage, and empathy. These are my guiding principles. My practice invites anyone who wants to dig in and do the work. I am passionate about my field, and people in general. We have lost our way with connection, and I work to restore it in my office. I respect every single client who walks through my door because I know how hard it is to take that first step. But it is the first step that starts the journey.

My professional career as a counselor, educator, and clinical supervisor spans over 30 years. My passion is helping people find hope, and love within important relationships and in the life we have to live. So working through addictions, trauma, and hurts in order to discover fulfillment is the task we might do together.

With over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological testing, I have come to know, understand and help a vast variety of people of all ages. I am now devoting my practice to psychological testing to clarify psychological diagnosis and personality dynamics, evaluate difficulties in learning and attention, assist in obtaining special accommodations for college and professional testing, and as part of the adoption process for prospective parents. I view each person as an individual with a unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses which contributes to or hinders functioning.

I work to provide a space where clients experience a nonjudgemental, explorative, and insightful therapeutic environment. I value your autonomy and believe the individual knows themselves best. We will work together to find ways to empower you and your strengths while identifying areas of distress and areas for growth to help you live a more balanced and enjoyable life.

Great to meet you! I specialize in working with individual adults in both Florida and California State. Prior to becoming a therapist, I dedicated 20 years to working in community health centers, hospitals, adult day care facilities, and a crisis support center and text line in California. This wide array of experience gave me the opportunity to identify those suffering from depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss, self-worth issues, relationship problems, and other life stressors. I continue to be honored and humbled with clients allowing me to enter their worlds.

Depression, Music, and Arts Emphasis - I hope you're doing alright today. Okay, I AM a licensed therapist, and I've worked with people who struggle with all kinds of mood, substance, and relationship issues. That said, I think lo-fi chill mixes and animes like Spirited Away and Neon Genesis Evangelion have been some of the most helpful comforts for many people the last few years. We all need supports and something to do, and we need to feel okay when when we're alone. I was a recording engineer, musician, and videographer before I became a therapist, and I like to help people find their own voice and center.

The most important factor to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My approach is to provide acceptance and understanding with intentions for transformation. It is through connection with others that we grow. Each individual holds a unique story, encompassed by their body-mind-spirit. I have found that an integrative approach is key to becoming unstuck from life's challenges and patterns. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, grief, or co-dependency? I honor where your are in life AND will help you to explore your vision for the future. Let's collaborate to create sustainable change.

There are times in life where we feel extremely alone, lonely, misunderstood, unhappy and beyond frustrated. Sometimes these overwhelming feelings can be about others; and sometimes about ourselves. These situations can arise because of: anxiety, change, depression, grief, conflict, and immense life challenges. At times, these problems are too much to face and bear alone. I specialize in helping clients through overwhelming problems and challenges. I collaborate with my clients to find changes they want to make, how they want to "see and live" their lives. My approach to therapy is a positive, hopeful, open approach.

I am a firm believer that mental and behavioral health can be stigmatized. Becoming educated and guided in client’s mental stability is my priority as a Therapist. Combining mind, body and soul in the healing process is important for each individual.

As a therapist and witness to your growth, I believe that you have an intuitive and innate capacity for balance. However, ongoing stressors of living in intersecting systems of oppression erode our connection with ourselves and others. Through curious, compassionate awareness in supportive relationships and community, we find our way back to our inner wisdom and wellness. I am here to support and witness your process of uncovering your most authentic self so that you can take actions in your life that align with your values and dreams.
