Loren Malkasian

Hi! My name is Dr. Lori Malkasian. I am a licensed counselor (LMFT). I am so excited to be able to support you on this journey. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults but also work with adults of all ages! In my practice, I take an interactive approach, prioritizing open dialogue and collaboration with my clients. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative or maladaptive thoughts and beliefs. By working together, we can cultivate healthier thought patterns and coping mechanisms to promote personal growth and well- being! I utilize a collaborative approach incorporating empathy and active listening when dealing with issues. I aim to communicate concepts and strategies in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand and implement. To me, the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship itself. When setting goals with my clients I conduct a thorough assessment to understand the presenting issues, client strengths, values and goals. I engage my clients in a collaborative discussion to identify and prioritize goals. My focus is always client centered and often break down other goals into smaller more manageable steps to avoid overwhelm.
