“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

My approach integrates Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, active imagination, systems theory, and solution-focused therapy. I believe healing involves more than changing thoughts alone. Research on neuroplasticity shows the brain and nervous system can form new pathways throughout life, creating opportunities for meaningful emotional and behavioral change. Therapy can support not only insight, but also emotional regulation, self-compassion, nervous system balance, creativity, and resilience. I work collaboratively and compassionately, welcoming all parts of you into the therapeutic process. Together, we may explore thoughts, emotions, body awareness, imagination, patterns shaped by past experiences, and practical tools that support lasting growth and healing. You do not need to be “artistic” to benefit from expressive arts therapy.

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.
