Lori McDunn
Are you struggling with intimacy and feeling genuine connectedness to others? Have you suspected that you have attachment problems that seem to be repeated patterns in your life? What about sexual intimacy problems? Perhaps these are the topics you wouldn't want to share with anyone, but you'd still like to address.
I am known to provide some laughter among the tears that client's often experience when they come to therapy.
Let me help provide you with psychoeducation and "homework" to see actionable change in the way you relate to others and how pothers relate and connect to you.
First session
I don't practice solution-focused brief therapy, anything that present challenges in adulthood at least had some origination in childhood. This might not make sense at first, but the neuropathways developed in childhood can affect how you view yourself but also those around you.
Strengths

Ideal clients
Couples that are facing challenges in their relationships, whether it relates to lower libido or ineffective communication. Individuals who have experienced prior sexual abuse, sex addicted individuals, individuals with ED. These may seem insurmountable but there is always hope with greater education and understanding, helping clients to see that they are able to live full lives despite sexual problems and attachment challenges.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT partnered with DBT will empower you, it will help you to learn that you are no longer a victim of your feelings and thoughts. In my 11 years of experience working with clients that have experienced trauma, OCD, personality disorders, and other challenging diagnoses.
Attachment-based
You've probably already noticed that attachment varies among individuals, either in your interpersonal relationships or within yourself. Attachment styles matter in how you view yourself and others. When you learn your style, you can begin to experience greater safety and security from those around you.
Couples Counseling
Couples can feel lost with today's changing perspectives in masculinity, femininity, androgyny, and divorce. All humans need connection and understanding yourself and your partner will help you to feel true connection and safety.
Sex Therapy
Intimacy and the understanding of what intimacy means for you and your partner can help you to have greater closeness and connectedness. Maybe you wonder if you're "normal" or maybe you suddenly feel as if you're asexual. We can explore all the parts of intimacy together in a safe, accepting space.
Feminist
In the changing framework of femininity, masculinity and androgyny, some individuals may feel somewhat lost. Feminist therapy is for all genders, it helps to know that feeling is humanistic, part of our experience and vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
