Lori Currier

I have spent my career working across nursing, social work, and now psychotherapy, which gives me a well rounded view of mental and physical health. After years as a nurse, including time in a Level One trauma center, I earned my master's in social work and became a licensed clinical social worker. For several years I have worked in a community based agency, building a caseload of adult clients, many with a history of substance use, as well as clients working through long standing patterns from childhood that still affect their lives today. I bring a steady, practical approach to sessions, and I am continuing to expand my clinical toolkit with training in Internal Family Systems, brainspotting, and EMDR.

I work primarily with adults, generally clients 18 and older, including a strong focus on older adults. I especially enjoy working with people who are revisiting difficult experiences from earlier in life and helping them move in a new direction, as well as clients navigating the lasting effects of past substance use. My clients often come to me ready to do real work, and I like meeting them with both compassion and practical tools they can use between sessions.

After years of being limited to part time hours at my current agency, I am excited to build my own private practice where I can set my own caseload and see clients consistently through telehealth from my home office in Western New York. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit for working together.
