Depression

Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Dr. Lois Walters-Threat, I have over 28 years of experience in the medical field. My practice specializes in supporting those struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I've been told that I'm a great listener and I have one of those personalities that people just feel comfortable telling me their full life story the first time we meet and I love that. I have a knack for turning tough topics into easily flowing conversations. I currently offer telehealth appointments.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to care is all about working together to create a supportive and welcoming space where you feel truly heard and understood. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, so I’ll work closely with you to craft a personalized plan that blends proven treatments with a holistic approach tailored to your needs. My goal is to empower you, giving you the tools and support to take charge of your mental wellness and feel confident in your path forward.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you'll gain practical tools for managing your mental health and a deeper understanding of your journey. I create a calm, respectful space where you feel heard and supported as we build resilience, enhance coping skills, and empower you to take control of your wellness. I believe in connecting genuinely with every person I meet, and I’m excited to get to know you, build trust, and support you every step of the way. Let’s work together toward a brighter, more empowered future.
