Lori Parrs, LMHC
About me
I am a Mental Health Therapist and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional licensed in the state of Florida with over 8 years of counseling experience. I have worked in many different settings with diverse populations treating a wide range of concerns. I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders, compulsive overeating, exercise and food addiction, body image and self esteem issues. I also have experience in working with addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, and those facing other lifestyle challenges.
My therapy style is warm, accepting, and action-oriented. I believe that every individual is unique and, as such, I develop the treatment accordingly; I strive to meet my clients wherever they are in the stage of change. My approach is integrative and holistic - I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused therapy to improve upon and maximize health and wellness.
Change can be scary and uncomfortable, but it can also be very rewarding and gratifying. If you are ready to take the next step towards a better you, I am here to support and empower you to do so. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

She really helps me to connect the dots from my mindset to my actions so that I am able to walk forward through my day in a positive way.
