Perhaps you want to make changes, but feel stuck or overwhelmed. You may feel burned out, stressed, restless and anxious. Short term, strength-based counseling will help you rediscover your strengths, tap into your natural resiliency, and build the healing and growth you want in your life and relationships. I bring 25+ years of experience with individuals, couples and families, and focus on collaboratively building creative solutions with clients. Call or email today.
With licensure in two specialties, I can provide encouragement and insight into the relationship between your family, relationships and wellbeing. Build on your strengths and make meaningful, positive changes in your life, whether your concern is anxiety, depression, grief, relationship, stress, illness, or the challenge of a new stage of life.
I'm dually licensed in Mental Health Counseling & Marriage & Family Therapy. My training in Lay Pastoral Ministry helps me respectfully integrate faith into our work, if you wish. Approved counselor through scholarship for post-9/11 veterans, military & family through Camaraderie. Learn more about my work at www.drloriputerbaugh.com.

I help clients build skills, emphasize their strengths, and find solutions that fit their values and life circumstances. Expect sessions to be spaced out to give you time to experiment with "homework" to practice skills and derive the most benefit from our work together with fewer sessions. Your homework will be vital to our work; it will help us adjust pace and focus to best suit your needs.
