Grief counselors and therapists in Lexington, KY

Life can feel heavy. Whether you're navigating anxiety that never seems to quiet down, processing a loss, working through trauma, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal. I'm Claire, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. I work with adults who are ready to do meaningful inner work — not because something is "wrong" with them, but because they deserve support, clarity, and a space that is entirely theirs. My work is rooted in compassion and curiosity. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I take the trust my clients place in me seriously. Together, we'll go at a pace that feels right for you — no rushing, no judgment, and no pressure to show up as anything other than yourself.

Living in survival mode is exhausting.

When you've experienced trauma or spent months—or even years—living with anxiety or depression, it can feel like your mind never gets a chance to rest. You may constantly expect the worst, feel emotionally drained, or wonder why it's so hard to move forward even when you're trying your best. The good news is that healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

I'm Lorena, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. Whether you're healing from a single traumatic event or years of overwhelming experiences, my goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and rediscover a sense of peace, confidence, and hope.
