Lorraine Schwartz
Psychotherapist -
Are you looking for a warm, straight forward sometimes funny therapist who will ask you questions & help you find your own authentic answers? I work with adults & couples who feel stuck, want to understand themselves, heal & grow. I find importance in childhood wounds that affect our present day. I will help reframe perspectives so you can look at things in a way which serve you better while connecting to parts of yourself you may have kept hidden. Boundaries are good for everyone.Establishing boundaries might feel uncomfortable, you may not even know you are entitled to have them or fear abandonment if you did, we can work on that.
I speak plainly & provide a non-judgmental, safe environment where we can explore what’s going on in your world at your pace using traditional talk therapy and/or EMDR. I use an eclectic approach drawing on multiple theoretical orientations in order to tailor the most effective treatment for you to develop self love, learn new coping skills, heal and grow.
Whether you are navigating relationship issues, life transitions or trying to understand why you are in pain, it is healing to be seen, heard & accepted.This is what I strive to create in our therapeutic relationship while you learn to break repetitive destructive patterns &develop a compassionate understanding of yourself. I am interested to learn about you
