Getting to know Lorraine Jefferson
Hi! My name is Lorraine, and I am just as enthusiastic and focused on supporting each person’s growth and healing as I have been since I first entered the field of social work. My interest in therapy began over 30 years ago when I found myself suffering in silence with my own mental and behavioral health issues. Although counseling was unacceptable in my family and culture, I took the brave step to “try it out anyway.”
Although I experienced cultural insensitivity and judgment, I knew there was a better way to connect with people. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University in New York City.
I primarily work with adults 18 and over, using an eclectic blend of clinical models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Therapy, Mindfulness, and Grief and Loss to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, abuse, abandonment, low self-esteem, mood disorders, addictions, panic, life stressors, life transitions, and more.
During your sessions with me, you will always experience me as having a positive presence and hopeful attitude, as I walk this journey with you along your path of holistic healing and a new discovery of your sense of self. You will also experience me as someone who is focused, compassionate, genuine, mature, and non-judgmental. I will always encourage you to seek your best, not perfection.
I hope to see you on the other side — take care!!
