Lori Elderkin Counseling

Welcome! I strongly believe in the benefits of therapy for those who seek out change and fulfillment in their lives. Finding a place where you can safely discuss any and all issues in your life is a crucial piece to facilitating this change. I concentrate on each person who is sitting with me and come from an empowerment model in which I believe you have the expertise and answers and I am honored to be joining in this stage of your journey. In sessions, I seek out strengths and attempt to assist you in building on those strengths.
