Lora Hnat
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist -
Hi! I’m Lora and I specialize in using narrative therapy, imagery, and hypnotherapy to help clients who feel stuck in unhealthy behavior patterns that are preventing them from creating a life that works for them. Our behaviors are driven by our needs and desires; unhealthy behaviors are driven by unmet needs that are trying to get our attention. No part of you is “bad”, it is just a part that is trying to be heard. I help my clients to identify and to heal the parts of themselves that need attention and care.
I work from a trauma-informed perspective that focuses on your strengths. I create a safe, nurturing environment for clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, relationship issues, and trauma from childhood neglect and/or abuse. We work together to connect you to the authentic parts of yourself that see you as loveable and as worthy of satisfying, connected relationships.
I chose to be a therapist because I have been where you are. I know what it is like to struggle with the effects of anxiety and depression, and I have been on my own healing journey for many years. I understand how important it is to be seen, heard, and validated when you are allowing yourself to be vulnerable to another person.
I offer video appointments with individual clients who are located in California. I work with individuals who are 16 years and older and couples. Reaching out for help takes courage and I provide a calm, safe, supportive space for your healing journey. I invite you to call me for a free consultation to see how I can help to support you.
