Getting to know Lois Ochrym
Therapy is my passion! I love watching my clients grow and change Hi, I’m Lois—mother of three boys, business owner, and lover of life Over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples I’ve discovered that as humans, we are resilient! Life offers joy and valuable lessons My purpose is to help others, especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy around us I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College, City University of New York I use many modalities to guide clients on their healing journey One main approach is EMDR Recently, I completed training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), another effective modality I’m excited to offer tools including short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), among others, to bring positive change I believe therapists must do their own work because I cannot take you where I haven’t been I’ve engaged in years of personal therapy, healing retreats, group therapy, 12-step meetings, writing, and recently became a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher This training deepened my practice and helps me inspire clients to use self-care, chanting, and meditation for healing physically, spiritually, and mentally My specialties include trauma, with extensive experience from childhood through adulthood trauma I’m experienced in grief counseling from Hospice work and trained in death and dying I work with couples on trust, infidelity, communication, and parenting I support young adults discovering their gifts and goals but feeling stuck I challenge clients about blocking beliefs and “parts” holding them back so they can realize their unique potential Many clients experience depression and anxiety from trauma and negative experiences I provide tools and explore reasons behind these issues to find positive solutions quickly I also work with those struggling with substance, technology, and other addictive disorders.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am goal-oriented and solution-focused so I focus on exploring your trauma, depression and anxiety or relationship issues to get a better understanding of your challenges. I then encourage you to use the coping tools, to increase your productivity, happiness and health. Our sessions focus on working through the feelings that are trapped so that you can have the freedom to live the life you are destined for!
