About Lorraine
As a seasoned therapist in New York, I bring three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice specializes in addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges with a deep understanding of diverse psychological needs.
I focus on helping clients navigate intricate emotional experiences, particularly supporting older adults, women, and individuals managing mood disorders, chronic health conditions, and relationship dynamics. My approach is holistic and empathetic, designed to help clients develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful personal insights.
My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop stronger emotional well-being. I’m committed to tailoring treatment approaches that honor each person’s unique journey and personal strengths.
Through evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to understand themselves more deeply, manage difficult emotions, and create positive life changes. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating major life transitions, or seeking support for long-standing emotional patterns, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with professional compassion and expertise.

- “Can’t recommend Lorraine highly enough. From our very first session, she was easy to talk to and made me feel immediately understood and supported. Even though we haven’t worked together for long, Lorraine has already helped me navigate the most difficult year of my life. Her experience with international clients and trauma survivors from diverse backgrounds has been incredibly grounding for me and is a rare find. <br /> <br /> Lorraine is upfront, clear, and compassionate. She listens without judgment and offers support that’s both practical and deeply empathetic. The ability to message and call her through BetterHelp has been a lifeline. I genuinely don’t know how I would have gotten through this year without her as I’m dealing with financial instability, grief, and emotional distress. <br /> <br /> If you’re looking for a therapist who is truly present, globally minded, and emotionally attuned, Lorraine is an exceptional choice.”
- “Lorraine is a rare combination of supportive and direct. We made tremendous progress in some difficult areas of our relationship in a fairly short amount of time. I highly recommend her.”
- “Lorraine is exactly who my husband and I need. She is direct, frank, courageous, and clear. She gets to the heart of our problems quickly and leads us into excellent strategies for addressing them. We have made far more progress with her than any of the many other therapists have tried over the years. I especially appreciate that she connects with my husband and find ways to make it safe and easy for him to communicate with her, as he can be quite shy. But he feels comfortable with her and really opens up to her. I'm also grateful that she often suggests that we have one-on-one sessions (in addition to sessions as a couple) so we can address individual concerns. She might be saving our marriage!”
- “I've only had a few session with Lorraine so far but she is very compassionate and understanding of what I am going through. I really enjoy working with her.”

Lorraine is kind, understanding and incredibly helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable and non judgmental. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone seeking therapy. She is amazing.”
