Lori Switanowski, LMFT

I have been an LMFT for over 35 years and an adoptive mother for over 25 years. My practice is focused on supporting individuals, couples and families to heal from trauma and live happy, meaningful lives. The principles which guide my practice are: 1. The individuals and families who seek my help are doing the very best that they can to get by day to day, but need my support to build skills to be their best selves. 2. It is my responsibility to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment so that they can heal and thrive. 3. Everyone can live to be their best selves when provided with optimal support, guidance and resources.

Through my 35 years as an LMFT and adopted mother I have gained extensive knowledge in the following areas: trauma, grief and loss, attachment, adoption, parenting a difficult child, adolescence, couples and in addition working with multiple mental health disorders, including: ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, Anxiety, Self-Injury and Depressive Disorders.
Many times struggling with life's challenges can be very overwhelming and lonely. Throughout my personal and professional life I have had multiple cheerleaders there to encourage me that "It will be OK". Choosing the right therapist for yourself is important. I welcome your call to hear my voice and see if we are a good match. Wishing you the best!
