LPC, 15 years of experience
Hello and Welcome! My name is Tanya Lorenzi and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based out of Augusta, GA. I have two masters degrees in counseling, one from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, and the other from Augusta University. I have been married for a very long time and have two grown up children and two amazing grandchildren that I never see enough of.
In our first session, I won't talk much because I want to hear from you about what's going on in your life, and what you want to change. I want you to feel heard and understood, so you know that I am here to help you reach your goals, not what goals I think you should reach.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I am outside of your life so I can see the forest and the trees. I can help you see things in a new way and make connections about yourself that you may not be able to do so you can better understand why you make the choices you do and how to make different ones. I have ADHD and I often call it my super power because people with ADHD can really see patterns, and that what I do with my clients, I help them see the patterns in their lives that are not working for them, and come up with new ones.
Are you feeling stuck and confused? Are you on a spiritual or growth journey and feel like you keep hitting roadblocks. Are you trying to deeply understand yourself and why you are the way you are and do the things you do? Why you keep picking partners that don't love you the way you deseve to be loved, or allowing other people to dictate your life and how you feel about yourself and you want to stop that? Then that's what I will help you do. Let's do the deep work of finding out who you are and why you're here and most importantly, how to make yourself happy.
I have been using ACT for a few years. I have seen it help clients to really be in control of their lives and not feel like their emotions are out of control.
