Meet Lori
I’m Lori, a licensed therapist with over eight years of experience in community mental health and more than 20 years in healthcare. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that our mental and emotional health influence every area of our lives. I believe our minds are both resilient and capable of growth — and that healing is always possible, no matter where you are in your journey.
LORI YATES, M. Ed, LPC • SHE/HER/HERS
In therapy, I strive to create a sacred, judgment-free space that invites curiosity, compassion, and self-discovery. I work primarily with adults and older teens who are ready to explore, heal, and make meaningful changes. You can expect a therapist who listens deeply, laughs with you, celebrates your progress, and gently challenges you when needed.
Together, we’ll work toward restoring balance, building self-worth, and nurturing a sense of peace and connection — so you can live a life that feels truly your own.
Sometimes we look at our lives and think... “This can’t be all there is.”
The pace of today’s world can be overwhelming — we’re often just trying to keep up and hold it all together. It’s no surprise so many of us feel anxious, exhausted, and disconnected. We meet everyone else’s expectations but neglect our own needs. It’s time to pause, breathe, and put yourself first.
