Life is precious and change is possible, in fact inevitable. When the world throws at us the seemingly unbearable, it is in our response that we can find the potential for growth and freedom. Therapy allows for a pause in the midst of it all, to take a step back in order to take a closer look and move in the direction of self-compassion, happiness and fulfillment. My experience of over 25 years teaching and practicing yoga/meditation is seamlessly integrated into my therapeutic approach and philosophy through the blending of Eastern mindfulness based approaches and Western cognitive psychology.
My emphasis is on listening and understanding first, only then can we we truly work collaboratively. Searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming given the special nature of the relationship and the importance of a good fit. You're here, you are taking that courageous first step. I welcome and I am honored to have the opportunity to accompany you on your journey toward change.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Loreen Shrager. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Loree is a very sensitive, skilled and supportive counsellor. She really listens to your issues and helps you explore them effectively. I’d recommend her to anyone needing help with psychological distress - especially anxiety and negative thoughts.

Very caring, listens and provides good, thoughtful advice. Shame I can’t find someone as good as her to see in person. :)

Beyond being incredibly professional, Dr. Shrager is a kind and compassionate therapist that listens and provides counseling that not only is tailored specifically to the challenge you're facing; but also in a way that is functional and applicable to other areas of your life. I was incredibly lucky to match with her and I feel that she has helped me immensely.
