Mind-body approach
My practice integrates evidence-based modalities that work with your body's natural healing capacity and deeper consciousness. Together, we'll select the approaches that best support your specific needs and goals.
Self-Regulation Skills
Utilizes conscious breathing techniques to regulate your nervous system and create coherence between mind and body. Opens pathways to altered states where deeper dimensions of awareness become accessible.
Brainspotting
Accesses the brain's natural processing abilities through specific eye positions that unwind and release neural networks holding trauma, triggers, and limiting beliefs. This process redirects these patterns into new neural pathways connected to your inner resources and capacity for self-regulation.
Somatic Awareness
Works with the body's inherent wisdom to release stored tension and trauma. By attending to physical sensations, we access insights that exist beyond verbal processing and analytical thought.
Mindfulness Integration
Develops present-moment awareness that allows you to observe rather than identify with challenging thoughts and emotions. Creates spaciousness around experiences that previously felt overwhelming.
A multi-modal philosophy
This therapeutic approach honors your innate capacity for healing and transformation, working with multiple layers of consciousness rather than just cognition. By integrating personalized, interactive techniques that engage your subconscious through multiple modalities, we access deeper levels of awareness and transformation. This creates space for profound shifts that align with your authentic self and life purpose.
Cultivating Self-Regulation
A primary goal of our work together is developing your capacity for self-regulation. Through consciousness practices like breath work and mindfulness, you build the ability to remain present with challenging experiences without becoming overwhelmed. These embodied skills become your foundation, creating the internal stability needed for deeper trauma release work. This capacity extends beyond our sessions, building increasing autonomy and resilience in your daily life.
Accessing Inner Wisdom
Rather than imposing external solutions, this approach recognizes that your deepest healing wisdom already exists within. Through activating slower brain wave states using EMDR, breath work, and mindfulness practices, we access altered states of consciousness where this innate intelligence naturally emerges. What arises from these deeper dimensions often surpasses what the analytical mind alone can access. In every session, your nervous system leads the way. I simply follow your cues, trusting your inner wisdom to guide what we explore and when.
Integration and Embodiment
While traditional therapy often focuses on understanding, this work emphasizes change that lives in your body. The shifts that occur in our sessions become part of your lived experience through Brainspotting, somatic release, and mindful awareness. These changes naturally integrate into your nervous system, creating lasting transformation that doesn't require constant effort to maintain.
Safely Engaging with Trauma
Working with trauma and deep patterns requires both courage and safety. These evidence-based techniques allow you to process difficult experiences without re-traumatization. Your nervous system leads the way, moving at its own pace toward greater coherence and freedom.
“When I first started meeting with Lorrie, I had no idea the depth and importance of the personal growth that was in store for me. Lorrie helped provide me with the strength and guidance that I needed to overcome unhealthy habits that I exhibited in relationships, and she also taught me the skills that I need to continue to cope with adversity on my own. She has a wonderful approach – she is calming, thoughtful, gentle, and uses alternative methods that allow you to reach your own conclusions on many hardships that you may face. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and insightful therapist! “
