Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Making space for difficult thoughts and feelings while exploring the values that matter to you and the actions that can reflect them.

Therapy begins with understanding the person in the room. Lori draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, with space to discuss what feels relevant to your needs.
You bring a whole life into therapy.
Your relationships, beliefs, circumstances, and strengths all matter. Different approaches offer different ways to explore your experience. You can ask questions about any method and discuss your goals and preferences with Lori.
The descriptions below are general introductions to the approaches listed by the practice. They describe ways of working, rather than promises of a particular result.
A thought noticed. A connection explored. A little room for something new.
