Meet Lori Gildersleeve

"We are all more alike than different.”

I am not sure when exactly I heard this or even where it came from, but it is a central belief that helps guide me as a psychotherapist in my twenty-five-year history as a master’s level Licensed Psychologist.

At some point in our life, we will all experience a major blow or loss.  For some, this experience will be transient, allowing them to return to sense of stability.  However, if you have a history of trauma from being neglected or abused as a child, or abused as an adult, life can feel like it has been turned upside down. Feeling the blow of an unexpected, traumatic life change can leave you with a sense that you no longer know how to navigate through the once familiar grounds. I get it.  

What I have learned is when we utilize the strength of our mind-body connection, we are able to tap into our own amazing healing system and break through barriers that keep us from living a full and meaningful life. 
My practice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also utilize other therapies such as Guided Imagery, Hypnosis and EMDR to help identify and strengthen your potential to create stability in your life.  Using this integrative approach, I have been privileged to help people adjust and navigate through significant life transitions and heal from past traumas (both physical and emotional). 

I also completed Phase I training in Brainspotting. Brainspotting is, “a physiological tool/treatment which can have profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences. It is a psychological treatment that helps people identify, process and release core neurophysiological sources of emotional or physical pain, trauma, and a variety of other challenging psychological and somatic (body) conditions. If this sounds like a good fit for you, schedule an appointment with me.
