Getting to know Lory Burton

Hi there, I'm Lory. Do conflicts keep repeating in your relationships, no matter how hard you try to break the cycle? Are you a parent struggling to connect with your teenager, feeling like every conversation turns into an argument or like you're slowly losing them? Is your teen feeling misunderstood or hitting walls in their friendships? Maybe you're an adult who keeps finding yourself in the same painful patterns, wondering why it's so hard to feel truly connected to the people you love. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone and you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with adolescents (ages 13 and up) and adults who are ready to heal relational wounds, improve communication, and build healthier connections. Whether you're a teen navigating family dynamics, a parent trying to bridge the gap with your child, or an adult ready to break cycles that no longer serve you, this is a space for that work. My own life experiences have shaped me into a deeply empathetic therapist, and I feel genuinely honored to walk alongside people as they do the hard, meaningful work of healing. I create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. For those who value faith, I also incorporate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into the therapeutic process, supporting growth that is emotional, mental, and spiritual. You deserve peace in your relationships. I would be honored to help you find it.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clients should expect to feel supported and empowered after a session with me. Some conversations are more difficult than others but I work diligently to create an environment where my clients feel safe and secure. I prioritize equipping my clients with the tools and strategies to make sense of their lived experiences while making sure they don't feel alone. Healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honesty and caring without judgment.

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.

5 sessions in & I have made incredible progress with Lory. She really listens, remembers & always has helpful feedback. I feel very lucky that I found her.
Lory is so great. I am working through simple & complex trauma from being the daughter to illegal immigrants & many years of doing sex work. I feel so safe & comfortable with Lory. I love that she does somatic therapy. I have seen a lot of progress in just 4 sessions.

Lory really has been amazing. She's listened any time I needed it and helps encourage me to be more confident in my own decisions.
Lory was my daughter’s first therapist and helped in only three sessions. The behaviors have improved so much. I’m looking forward to having my daughter book back with her.
Lory is very kind and understanding! She gives me fresh advice and is a GREAT listener! I feel fortunate to have found such a supportive ally in my journey toward personal growth and well-being.
