Getting to know Loraine Sawyer

My name is Lori Sawyer, and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling from Chaminade University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and address mental health challenges from a strength-based perspective. My goal is to support clients in reducing counterproductive patterns of beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors so they can thrive across all life domains. My approach I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy along with a trauma-informed perspective. I focus on implementing evidence-based practices in concrete ways. I also have extensive experience in applied behavioral analysis and functional family therapy. My focus I primarily work with teens and adults struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational challenges, including those coping with transitional life stressors, relational conflict, trauma-related disorders, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. My communication style I prioritize creating a compassionate and non-confrontational environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with clients to practice positive coping and communication skills. Sessions are generally client-driven and conversational. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to becoming a therapist because of my interest in literature and art. I have always been fascinated by subconscious thoughts and beliefs and their influence on decision-making. I value the human ability to create meaningful narratives that help us overcome obstacles. My goals for you The first 2-3 sessions focus on understanding each client's specific challenges. Goals are client-driven with therapist feedback and reflect the client's aspirations for decreasing negative symptoms and enhancing systemic quality of life. My first session with you The first session is conversational and non-linear in nature.
