Lorraine Jefferson

My name is Lorraine Jefferson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My interest in therapy began over 30 years ago when I found myself suffering in silence with my own mental and behavioral health issues. Although counseling was unacceptable in my family and culture, I took the brave step to “try it out anyway” My hope and expectation to discover my own clear path toward healing was abruptly and painfully short-lived due to experiencing cultural insensitivity and judgement. But I knew in my heart that there was a kinder and more compassionate way to connect with people who needed a warm smile and listening ear.

I work with adults from 18-65 and 65 and over, who are looking to take a holistic approach to managing their mental health I actively use an eclectic blend of clinical models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Therapy, Mindfulness, Grief and Loss to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, abuse, abandonment, low self-esteem, mood disorder, addictions, panic, life stressors and more.

During your sessions with me, you will always experience me as having a positive presence and hopeful attitude, as I walk this journey with you along your path of holistic healing and a new discovery of sense of self. You will also experience me, as someone who will be focused, compassionate, genuine, mature, and non-judgmental. I will always encourage you to seek your best, not perfection.

I hope to see you on the other side – take care!!
