She made me feel heard and has great insight. She is the 1st therapist I’ve ever talked to where I felt like I was talking to a friend I’ve known for years. Highly recommended as she is very easy to talk to and shows great empathy and understanding and has a way of talking you through your issues to gain clarity and also a different perspective. Looking forward to our next session.

Lori is a "real" person, bringing her expertise and perspective but allowing the client to participate in their own process. It is a collaborative conversation, as opposed to traditional "therapy". I don't feel analyzed, I feel supported.

I love every session with Lori, she has shown me how to look at things in ways I didn't think of before. She helped with my self-reflection and self-confidence! I know I will take every lesson with me in my day to day, and keep growing thanks to Lori.

In just two short sessions Lori has helped me out of an extremely toxic relationship and gave me the courage to leave when I had none. She has shown me how strong of a woman I am and how valuable I am to my community and into this world.
Thank you so much, Lori The work you do is beyond amazing

I can’t even start how Lori has changed my life. If I had to it would be because she listens and wants to help. And that’s the biggest thing for me, her wanting to help.

Lori is such a bright spirit. She is an uplifting therapist, someone to challenge you if you're open to it, and incredibly sweet. I have learned a lot of helpful tools from my sessions and I am very thankful for all of her time!

Written on Feb 01, 2022 after therapy with Lori for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, self esteem, bipolar disorder, and adhd

Lori Mcdunn is, hands-down, the most successful therapist that I've had. I've had over ten therapists over the past twenty years. Every other therapist has been a mandatory appointment alongside a psychiatrist OR a court-mandated therapist.

Lori is, to be fair, the first therapist that I've sought out on my own (rather than being a requirement alongside a psychiatrist).

Short review... Lori's good at handling my expectation and fear of rejection. She's not critical, but exploratory. Lori is excellent at being a confidant-type professional where I'm comfortable talking about my issues. Lori provides excellent interpretations, which give me a much better point of view than I would have on my own.

Lori is also very good about reading messages, journal entries, and otherwise keeping up with me.

This is the best therapist that I've ever had, and I've had over a dozen. Max stars.

This lady is great! I felt like I could be myself before I even knew who that was. I am so grateful to have met her and to have had her to turn to when my life was literally falling apart. I have done therapy in the past but never had I made this much progress in such a short amount of time. This lady is amazing at what she does. AMAZING!
