Lorraine LaVallee

I believe that building a genuine, open and honest therapeutic relationship with my client is the best way to connect. My experience in the field of chemical dependency has allowed me the privilege of helping those struggling with addiction and mental health issues as well as their families. I have worked in this field for the past 19 years and it has given me a compassionate perspective for those struggling to get and stay sober. Need help dealing with a teen with addiction issues? I can help. I help people struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, panic attacks, trauma, addiction and procrastination. You do not have to go through this alone!

My practice philosophy includes CBT, DBT, supportive therapy, strengths-based, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed, EMDR, and a person-centered approach to help facilitate positive change. I offer non-bias, empathetic and compassionate support. I help individuals learn coping skills and how to apply them. By providing a safe space and allowing people to be themselves we can address those painful memories in a supportive way. I describe myself as warm, caring, funny and highly encouraging to promote a healing environment. Let's help you THRIVE!

I believe healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, seen and cared for. In our first session we will work to build a trusting, non-judgmental and open relationship. We will get to know each other. I will explain a bit about how I work. We will discuss what you would like to get out of therapy and determine some goals. We will discuss which therapy modalities may work best for you. I promise you will leave with a box of tools you can use in the here and now. If you are interested in beginning or resuming your therapy journey to work towards being the best version of yourself, I encourage you to reach out! I’ll look forward to getting to know you and being a part of your journey. Live the life you want and deserve!
