Dr. Lorie Muellenbach
Intro
Hello, I'm Dr. Lorie Muellenbach, a licensed psychologist with experience supporting adults and older adults through life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and health-related challenges. I strive to create a warm, compassionate space where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. I believe therapy can foster resilience, greater self-understanding, and meaningful change at any stage of life.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach to care is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe healing occurs when clients feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. I take a holistic and individualized approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and somatic approaches. I strive to balance emotional support with practical strategies, helping clients build on their strengths and create meaningful, lasting change.
What should be expected in the first session?
During our first session, we will take time to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about your concerns, history, strengths, and goals so that we can develop a shared understanding of what you hope to achieve. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. My priority is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable and begin moving toward positive change.
