Domestic Abuse Therapists in Exmore, VA

Having struggles with your child and don't know where to turn? My name is Lori and working with children and families is my vocation. I work best with parents who are interested in being part of the healing process of their children, or with families who are interested in participating in counseling services together. I'm well established in the greater Hampton Roads area so I can help guide you to other resources and services that could benefit you & yours as well, and I often will collaborate with professionals in the community for the benefit of my clients.

Do you ever feel that you're living in the past? Do the thoughts, memories, and dreams keep coming back? Do you always feel that something bad is going to happen? These are some of the affects of trauma. Others can include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Unfortunately we can't talk (or logic) our way out of our body and brain's response to trauma, and often we leave talk therapy feeling like we're spinning our wheels. There is good news: we can help your brain and body heal from the trauma so that the past can STAY in the past. Healing is possible, and I'm excited to work with you

Whether you're a young person feeling overwhelmed or an adult struggling to find your balance, my goal is to create a cozy, judgment-free space where we can tackle whatever's on your mind. My approach to counseling is deeply rooted in the belief that each individual possesses a unique life story, deserving of personalized care and attention. Drawing from my experiences in crisis stabilization units, therapeutic day treatment settings, and working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, I'm all about tailoring my interventions to meet the specific needs of my clients.

I use a very eclectic approach in which I am engaged and actively involved in the therapeutic process. I ask lots of questions. I invite my patients to move away from self-judgment and to be truly curious about themselves and their lives. We look together at patterns of functioning, at assumptions about the self, at how the present reflects the past. The goal is authenticity and the path is self-awareness.

Recovering from trauma is the most inspiring and difficult things one can do in their lifetime. I am a believer that post traumatic growth is possible in all people. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a base of radical feminism utilizing approaches from DBT, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness and acceptance based approaches.

Do you feel like you’re running yourself ragged trying to make everyone else happy? Like you don’t know who you are outside of others’ expectations? I work with people who are struggling with identity in different ways. Some feel like their identity was lost to abuse or to a bigger personality in the house. Others are recovering from losing who they are because of a traumatic experience that seemed to change them forever. Still others do not feel like their true identity is within the body they were born in.
