Getting to know Lois Tawfik
I believe that we are all created for a purpose and shaped by the events we experience throughout our lives. I desire to help you feel empowered to become the person you want to be. Through counseling, I aim to create a space where you can become aware of your behavioral patterns, emotions, and thoughts, then equip you with the right tools to break the unhealthy patterns that stand in the way of what you want for your life. I address a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I also work with individuals and couples struggling in their relationships.
One of my passions is working with women who have experienced infidelity in their relationships. If you have suffered betrayal of any kind, it is my desire to walk with you on your journey toward healing, rebuilding trust in yourself, and becoming whole again. Betrayal trauma can result from events such as multiple partners, emotional affairs, and compulsive porn use. Moreover, the lying and gaslighting that often accompany these behaviors are also deeply traumatizing. Throughout your time with me, my goal is to help you find stability and safety again. I want you to feel validated and to normalize your emotional responses. Emotions like anger can be hard to understand; part of our work will include giving you the chance to make sense of your anger if you are experiencing it. I will be with you in your pain and walk with you every step of the way. As your therapist, I will help you see and understand yourself better and encourage you to make the necessary changes you desire.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Moody Bible Institute, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your healing journey.

Whether you're navigating challenges in relationships, dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, or trauma, I am here to support you. I have a specific passion for assisting women who have encountered the complexities of betrayal in their relationships. Betrayal trauma, manifested through various forms such as multiple partners, emotional affairs, lying, and gaslighting, is an area I am dedicated to addressing. My ultimate goal is to guide you toward healing, rebuilding trust in yourself, and helping you become whole again.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In working with clients, I employ an integrative approach tailored to each individual's unique needs. My process involves identifying thoughts and accessing emotions to uncover unmet relational needs. I assist clients in recognizing patterns that may require change, equipping them with the necessary tools for personal growth. Certified in EMDR, I utilize this technique to address trauma. My goal is to ensure clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic journey. As a therapist, I am committed to walking alongside clients in their pain, providing support and guidance. Ultimately, my aim is to facilitate a deeper self-understanding, empowering clients to become the best version of themselves.
