Lori Downing
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist - LMFT
Let’s face it– we all experience struggles in life at some time or another. Sometimes these struggles reside inside us, sometimes they are put upon us and sometimes they just are. Often times these struggles can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, distressed, dissatisfied, alone, and stuck. As a therapist, I am passionate about and dedicated to helping my clients overcome personal struggles, and experience hope and change.This process towards wholeness takes hard work and a strong commitment; however, it can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. I meet you were you are, and I am with you every step of the way. I truly believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is one of the most important aspects of successful therapy. And connecting with my clients is my greatest asset. I have worked with individuals, couples, children/teenagers and older adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to help them deal with their struggles and move forward. I have experience and training working with anxiety, depression, co-dependency, self-esteem, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, women’s issues and spiritual growth.I would like the opportunity to work with you, to help you tap into your true self and to begin taking steps on your journey toward healing and wholeness.I look forward to meeting you!
