Lora Hnat, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, understands that everyone carries stories that shape their perceptions of abilities, relationships, and past experiences. These narratives often influence what individuals believe they can achieve or deserve. With a compassionate approach, Lora guides clients in unearthing and challenging these narratives, helping them to recognize that many unhealthy coping behaviors developed post-trauma are not inherent aspects of their personality, but rather survival strategies.Through a tailored process, she collaborates with teens aged 16 and older, individuals, and couples to identify personal goals and needs. Together, they explore and heal the parts that feel stagnant while reconnecting with one's innate strengths. Lora specializes in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Compassion Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, and EMDR among others, fostering an atmosphere of safety and support during the healing journey. Emphasizing the courage it takes to reach out for help, Lora offers a serene environment where clients can rewrite their stories and craft new strategies for personal growth and fulfilling relationships.
