Hi! Thank you for considering MindWorks and visiting my information page as you take this next step in your journey. My name is Lori, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Crime and Delinquency Studies from the University of Kansas and my Master’s degree in Counseling from University of Texas at San Antonio. I have provided clinical services to children, families, and individuals since 2012 in a variety of settings including non-profit organizations, psychiatric inpatient settings, schools, and community clinics. My expertise includes guiding individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, body image issues, social anxiety, behavioral and parenting concerns, family conflict, ADHD, grief, and crisis resolution.
How Can I Help
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have a person-centered approach and am driven by a deep commitment to validating the unique successes and individuality of each child. I embrace a holistic mindset to healing recognizing that each individual is part of a larger family system. By integrating this understanding, I provide comprehensive care, ensuring that my therapeutic interventions not only support the child but also contribute positively to the family dynamics.
My therapeutic style is both eclectic and fluid and tailored to needs of the individual, according to the challenges and needs they are actively facing. I believe healing is a journey, not a destination, and I consider it a privilege and an honor to be a part of that journey. Together we will discover your best YOU, your best LIFE, and your best NOW.
Evidence based modalities that I often incorporate in session include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and play therapy techniques.
