About Lori Mcdunn

Finally considering therapy? Great! I have many years of experience as a trauma focused therapist. My client demographic is highly variable as I enjoy seeing all humans thrive and be able to experience peace and joy. I work with adults and children, individuals and couples, servicemembers and LGBTQAI. I am strengths-based with conscientious focus on religious trauma and sexual assault survivorship. I hold an M.Ed in Counseling and Human Services and am pursuing a PhD in Clinical Sexology.
I am a safe person to objectively hear your prior trauma and events for which you might carry guilt shame. It’s time for you to let go and be free…the freedom to lead a reasonably happy life. (Note, I do not write letters for LOA)

“Lori is an excellent listener and creates a space where I feel heard and understood. One of the most meaningful impacts has been how she helps facilitate authentic connection between my spouse and me. Her guidance feels intentional and grounded in our real-life needs.<br /> <br /> I especially appreciate the way she assigns homework. It is thoughtful, practical, and tailored specifically to where we are. It gives us tools we can actively use between sessions, which has made a noticeable difference.<br /> <br /> Additionally, her availability and responsiveness during the week have been incredibly supportive. It adds a level of continuity and care that I have not experienced before.<br /> <br /> I can honestly say I have never had a therapist this effective, engaged, and impactful. I am very grateful for the support and highly recommend her.”

“Lori is the sweetest human and therapist. She’s exactly what I have been looking for and needing in therapy. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects and always wiling to dig deeper and ask questions to try to help you figure out what’s going on. I always feel welcome and heard in our sessions.”

“Amazing! Can read people… at least me”

“She is absolutely wonderful. She listens but also asks me pointed questions that make me think of things differently. She absolutely does not allow me to get away with things though and that is a huge part of my therapy.”
