Lori Marhefke

If you are here, looking through these many profiles, it’s a lot. You may be searching for support, encouragement, understanding, and finding a way forward. I sincerely hope you find who you need. I offer assistance in North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. We may be a good fit if you are struggling with anxiety, stress, sleep, grief, losses, trauma, or transitions in your life. I offer clinical assistance with the perspective of lived experience. I understand reaching out can feel very uncomfortable, but I hope you keep reaching out for support.

I understand many concerns are very private, and I respect this. Life is messy, and we’re all doing the best we can do. I understand messy. My style is informal, warm, and supportive. I do not believe one size fits all in therapy. You are the expert on you and know what you need. I am trained in multiple approaches that may be helpful and enjoy reviewing the relationships in your life and how these affect your well-being. We are humans with messy emotions. At the same time, our humanity is what saves us, and we get to experiment with that in therapy. In therapy, we will get to know one another, discuss your needs, and develop your goals together. You may not really have a goal other than to feel better. That’s normal and absolutely fine. We will see where that takes us.

I sincerely want you to feel hopeful and confident in the future. So often we hurt because we don’t feel seen, heard, or even safe. I’d like to provide you with tools and strategies, of course, and I'd like to help develop a sense of safety for you. I promise to always greet you with compassion and an open mind. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey. Please feel comfortable messaging me via Psychology Today. https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1236370
