Getting to know Lori Sterling
Hello there, I wish to greet you as you walk the path toward a kinder tomorrow and self-actualization. Oftentimes, tomorrows can be overwhelming-filled with both potential and uncertainty. I view tomorrows as a garden that needs tending in the present so the most lush potentials can grow. Gardens require emotional work that you may be unable to do alone for any number of reasons. This is why I offer my assistance-not as a head gardener telling you what to do, or staff blindly following you, but as a comforting presence at your side to help you walk through your path and plant seeds for your desired tomorrows.
I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor's degree, both from the University of North Florida. My areas of expertise include emotional difficulties, depressive disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, and personal growth and development. While these are my areas of focus, I maintain that therapy is not a ?one-way street,? so to speak. I, as your therapist, walk with you to provide support and tools as you move toward your ideal self.
I believe that all people deserve tomorrows that are brighter than their todays, and I hope I can assist you in taking that first step in planting your better tomorrow. For all my clients, I wish to one day sit with them in the beautiful garden they have created-to enjoy the fruits of their success and perhaps share a lovely cup of tea. Let's begin your journey!
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our first few sessions, one can expect a gentle ease into therapy. The relationship between therapist and client is critical for overall growth, and how often does one speak about their greatest woes within 10 minutes of meeting someone? Initial sessions will focus on building comfort, feelings of safety, and getting to know both therapist and client. All goals and treatment plans will be made collaboratively, and will be completed as a conversation between us. As sessions continue, trust will develop until you feel comfortable sharing more details about yourself and what brought you to seek help.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
