Counseling & Therapeutic Services — Dayton, OH
Ready toHeal
Compassionate, one-on-one counseling sessions rooted in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. By appointment only.
The roots
It began in the listening
Lori's path began in quiet moments of presence — learning that the deepest healing often happens when someone is simply held in attentive silence. Her training in trauma-informed care and narrative therapy grew from a conviction that every person's story matters.
Her sessions are unhurried and grounded. They begin with a conversation about where you are and what you need; the work itself is a gentle collaboration, followed by space to integrate and reflect.
I don't claim to have all the answers — I'm here to walk beside you as you find your own.
