About
Lori Zeh, LCSW, CCTP, CCS
Welcome!
I bet you're wondering what all the acronyms by my name mean, well good question! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Certified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Having been in the mental health and wellness field for over 30 years I offer an extensive background in both the clinical and managerial sides of psychotherapy.
As a therapist I am relational, interactive, open-minded, and insightful. Being naturally intuitive, I use this feeling sense in my work. Tapping into intuition and empathy allows me to gain insight and increased understanding into a person's experience.
I am also curious and encourage my clients to bring a sense of curiosity into the therapeutic process in order to develop a non-judgmental approach to understanding themselves differently and move toward change.
Over the years of helping hundreds of people I've come to recognize just how impactful our mindset, core personal beliefs, self-acceptance, and self-trust are at guiding us through life, affecting our perceptions and experiences. My goal as a therapist is to guide you on your personal journey of self-exploration and discovery so we can uncover the areas of your life where you are struggling and help you achieve the change you hope for in order to improve your self-esteem, quality of life, and personal goals. Therapy is like seeing all the pieces of a puzzle and moving them into place to create a holistic picture.
I look forward to meeting you, learning about you, and helping you to shift your mindset so you can live a more fulfilled life with more self confidence!
MINDSET
Have you noticed how your mindset shapes your experiences? Mindset causes us to see through a lens of hope, joy, love, worry, anger, or fear. Having a mindset based on fear can create a perception of danger, causing us to expect the worst and trigger the fight or flight response. Simple things can trigger this response like your supervisor calling you in for a meeting or getting an unexpected call from your partner in the middle of the day, which can cause us to imagine scenarios with terrible outcomes. Stress, overwhelm, and core negative beliefs can cause you to be in a state of fight or flight without even realizing it. This can even become a chronic condition and lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression, over-use of substances, poor self-image, or other negative mental and emotional states. Alternately, having a positive mindset will help you see options and opportunities, lift your mood, and contribute to a sense of wellbeing. Learning how to manage your mindset is an important step toward healing and can shift your self-confidence. When you have tools to control your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, it can be a game changer.
What is Psychotherapy
The study of the mind has been a well-documented fascination for hundreds of years. At times in our history its been misunderstood, thought to be only for the unwell. However, we have come a long way since those dark days. Mental Wellness is what shapes the quality of our lives and our sense of self. Sometimes my clients say to me, "I’m not sure what to talk about today, I feel pretty good", this is when I remind them that psychotherapy is a wellness practice, and this is an opportunity to build on the foundation they have built so far. Making this commitment to yourself is making a commitment to self-mastery, to being a better version of yourself. Talking with a professional can help you find new perspective, consider options you hadn't previously considered, and find new paths forward in your life that you didn’t realize were available to you.
