Written on Jan 19, 2022 after therapy with Lori for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Lori has really been helping me get through the hardest time in my life recently. Highly intelligent and an expert in mental health, not to mention very funny sometimes. I have so much appreciation for her.

Written on Dec 07, 2021 after therapy with Lori for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and adhd

Lori has helped me so much. As a fellow clinician, I was struggling with imposter syndrome and feeling down on myself for every decision I made. We made a plan of care for me that ended up with me feeling less anxiety and worry about work and COVID. I attribute much of my success to her and I would recommend her to everyone. She is kind, but pushes you to see yourself in a way that you haven't before.

You never have to guess, she is always very honest and straightforward. She is very kind and patient. I truly believe she cares and she wants what is best for me. Her goal is only to see her clients live healthier, happier lives. I strongly recommend Lori Passmore.

Written on Nov 27, 2019 after therapy with Lori for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse

Lori is here, available by appointment or messaging. She doesn’t judge. You don’t have to exaggerate symptoms or keep secrets because she really hears you. She wants to know your own goals. Your goals are her goals. She will not dig to talk about your whole life details unless you want to do that. What she does is help you navigate a life today, using who you are personally. It is like holding a really smart mirror up that can objectively see your bad AND good. When you are able to see these things more objectively, she gives you tools to navigate life today. I have a better life because of Lori.

Lori listens on a deeper level to not only what is said, but also what is unsaid and is able to mirror back my feelings and thoughts in a way that bring much clarity and focus to a session. She creates a safe place for me to explore my most vulnerable parts. I am making great progress in learning to trust, love and honor my innermost desires, dreams and wishes.

She is amazing. I feel like she lets me know what she thinks but not because it’s what I want to hear. She respects my ideas and I feel like we have made progress.

Written on Aug 29, 2018 after therapy with Lori for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, eating, sleeping, and self esteem

As of now Lori has been very flexible and understanding of my needs. She also has given me homework, which I really actually like because it forces me to think about where I am and reflect on tools to help myself better.

Work with me!
