About me
As a seasoned therapist in New York, I bring three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice specializes in addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges with a deep understanding of diverse psychological needs.
I focus on helping clients navigate intricate emotional experiences, particularly supporting older adults, women, and individuals managing mood disorders, chronic health conditions, and relationship dynamics. My approach is holistic and empathetic, designed to help clients develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful personal insights.
My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop stronger emotional well-being. I'm committed to tailoring treatment approaches that honor each person's unique journey and personal strengths.
Through evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to understand themselves more deeply, manage difficult emotions, and create positive life changes. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating major life transitions, or seeking support for long-standing emotional patterns, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with professional compassion and expertise.

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for Lorraine and the incredible support she has provided during my healing journey. Her guidance has helped me uncover valuable insights about myself and the reasons behind my behaviors.
I've noticed significant improvements in my well-being thanks to the tools and support she has given me. Lorraine is always there to listen and offer her expertise, making it easy to communicate and connect.
I am truly grateful for everything Lorraine has done for me and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and insightful therapist!

Can’t recommend Lorraine highly enough. From our very first session, she was easy to talk to and made me feel immediately understood and supported. Even though we haven’t worked together for long, Lorraine has already helped me navigate the most difficult year of my life. Her experience with international clients and trauma survivors from diverse backgrounds has been incredibly grounding for me and is a rare find.
Lorraine is upfront, clear, and compassionate. She listens without judgment and offers support that’s both practical and deeply empathetic. The ability to message and call her through BetterHelp has been a lifeline. I genuinely don’t know how I would have gotten through this year without her as I’m dealing with financial instability, grief, and emotional distress.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is truly present, globally minded, and emotionally attuned, Lorraine is an exceptional choice.
