“Ms Bay allows me to say what's on my mind without feeling judged. Ive felt heard & supported throughout the process. She is knowledgeable, reassuring & provides tools to manage those moments that cause over thinking or the fear that potentially come from of it.. I appreciate her feedback & explanation of what is occurring within the brain as well since it helps put feelings into a perspective of being a natural process vs an experience of doom. I recommend her for people of all ages.”

Getting to know Lorine Estelle Bay

I am no longer taking new clients through Grow. If you are a current client, please contact me directly to schedule a new session. The Grow self-scheduling feature allows double and even triple booking of the same time slots, and resolving the resulting conflicts has become unmanageable. Person-Centered Expressive Arts, Systems, Solution-Focused, Meditation/Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, CBT, IFS. Are you interested in discovering how scientific evidence—that neuroplasticity and creating new neuropathways can eliminate mental and physical chronic conditions—can help you overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, childhood adversity, self-hatred, shame, and trauma? Reading studies on spontaneous remissions, placebos, epigenetics, quantum physics, and neurotransmitters, as well as stories of ascetic masters and yogis, often fails to provide clear answers on using neuroplasticity for self-healing and tends to veer toward woo-woo, thought magic, and other nonsense. Psychotherapists have developed many techniques to help people change their thinking, which works well for some but not all. There are obstacles to years of therapy, including cost. Sometimes, even with frequent therapy, it doesn’t work. Yes, changing thoughts is part of rewiring, but not all of it. Your mind includes more than thoughts; it includes feelings, imagination, visualization, intuition, body wisdom of the extended vagus nervous system, and body/brain chemicals. The mind also includes attention. I hold a Master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri, Columbia.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Everything on the internet wants your attention, “Look at this advertisement!” they scream, “Watch this politically influencing video!” So many bells and whistles every time you turn the thing on! There is actually nothing more valuable than your attention. Bring your attention to attention! New neuropathways are created by the combination of attention, time, and repetition, sort of like working out is to your muscles, attention is to your neuropathways. It is the energy and impulse of synaptic transmission and chemical messaging that constructs transmission of body sensation to thought and the unconscious messages of chemical feedback loops. You can create new pathways in your brain by using them. You use them with attention. They wither away from a lack of attention.

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.
