Hello, I am Lori Breland MA, NCC, LCMHC, C-DBT. My primary focus is working with juvenile females/ at risk youth aged 11-17 with significant behaviors and/or involved in the court system. I am a MA (Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling), NCC (National Certified Counselor), LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), and C-DBT (Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am a member of ACA, ACES, Chi Upsilon Chi Honor Society, and Southern ACES.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session we get to know each other while I get an understanding of how I can assist you. I will need to know your expectations and needs along with what brings you to treatment. The first session is more a meet and greet with some hard questions but nothing to "heavy".

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I often use DBT, CBT, and EMDR in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
