Founder & Therapist

Caroline Lorenzen, LCSW

I have chosen to specialize in the treatment of trauma because I have seen the absolutely incredible reclamation of life and light that those committed towards healing from their trauma experience. Getting you back into activities you used to enjoy, but fear has stopped you from returning to is so rewarding. Watching you rediscover yourself after chronic trauma or an acute traumatic experience is why I do this work.

I can teach you the tools to get unstuck and find your new normal where you live well. I often work with individuals who have previously engaged in talk therapy but haven’t seen the progress they desired. If you have been caught up in memories, plagued by what if thoughts, or stuck on behaviors you can't shake, I may be the right fit for you.

In addition to trauma treatment, I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, and panic disorder. I can make a personalized treatment plan using multiple evidence based therapies. I specialize most in Prolonged Exposure, Exposure & Response Prevention, CBT, and DBT.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel empowered to take control of your healing journey. I usually start with establishing safety and teaching skills. In sessions with me you can expect to laugh, get creative, and know exactly what's on your treatment plan.

Therapist

Lex Fackrell, AMFT

Through my journey towards becoming a marriage and family therapist, I have been a witness to the transformative power of therapy. I believe in the profound impact that dedication and work, both within and outside of therapy sessions, can have on an individual's life. My primary aim is to shift the prevailing perceptions about therapy and to assist individuals, families, and couples in achieving a balanced and healthy state of well-being by harnessing techniques such as emotional regulation, mindfulness, and authentic living. I find fulfillment in aiding my clients through a myriad of therapeutic methods and approaches.

I am deeply committed to mental health and cherish my role in assisting individuals, couples, and families. My methods are diverse, ranging from fostering new understandings and perspectives via a collaborative language approach to play therapy and engaging in co-creative explorations of client concerns.

As clients embark on the therapeutic journey with me, my aspiration is for them to progressively recognize their innate potential. And when clients are with me, I want to constantly reassure them: they are safe, they are valued, and they are on the path to embracing change.
