About

Feeling Stressed? Unhappy? Overwhelmed?

The first step for you now is to BREATHE, next consult an experienced, well-trained therapist with whom you connect. We all face challenges in life that can feel overwhelming. During these stressful times, we may not be able to clearly see our options due to our own stress level, emotional pain, and confusion over what is best. In individual or group therapy, I can help you by providing a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental space to express your deepest thoughts and feelings. I have over 17 years of experience working with trauma survivors. In addition, I work with clients struggling with life transitions, personal and family relationship problems, communication skills, low self-esteem, dissatisfaction in life concerns, the LGBTQ community, and mild to severe anxiety issues. The therapists in my group practice also have similar training and experience. We will be certain to match you with the best therapist for your needs. I am an Attachment-Focused EMDR clinician. I have openings for psychotherapy and EMDR sessions in person and virtually in NYC. I offer LifeCoaching to California and bi-coastal clients. Finding the right therapist can be difficult. If I am not the right fit for you, I have access to an extensive referral network and will be happy to assist. New Group Offering! Bi-weekly Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Group begins April 9, 2026, on Thursdays. Request an appointment above to schedule a complimentary screening.

Testimonials

“Lori provided a level of commitment and creativity that I have not experienced with other therapists. When I was stubborn she was patient. When bringing up a topic she wasn't aware of, she would research it. I can vouch that she is LGBTQ competent. ”

Prevoius Client

“I have been working with Lori for 6 months. Since the beginning, she provided positive insights into my life, as well as strategies and resources to help me cope with past trauma. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to grow with Lori.”
