Getting to know Lory Toussaint

Hi there, I’m Lory. Do you feel like conflicts keep repeating in your family or your relationships, no matter what you try? Are you a parent struggling to connect with your child or set healthy boundaries? Does your teen feel misunderstood, withdrawn, or frustrated in their relationships with friends or family? Or maybe your child is having a hard time expressing their emotions and navigating friendships? If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. I help families, parents, and children ages 5–18 heal from past hurts, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. My personal life experiences make me deeply empathetic, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate life’s challenges. I aim to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where children, teens, and parents can feel heard, understood, and supported. For families who value faith, I also integrate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into therapy, helping your family grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Every family deserves peace, understanding, and stronger bonds and I would be honored to support yours on that journey. I will begin seeing clients in person in Plantation, FL in April 2026.

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.
