I am so happy to have found Lori! At first I was skeptical of video therapy but it has worked out great. She has been able to help me through some really difficult times and she really cares.

Great sessions with Lori. Love that she breaks down the science of the experiences I’m having while explaining how to deal with my issues with myself first and then others.
