We bring a person-centered approach while providing a safe non-judgmental space for helping our clients to develop the tools and skills that will allow them to embrace their individuality as well as work towards realizing their full potential. Our philosophy is shared amongst all of the professionals in our practice. I am the owner of the private practice Life Centers, Inc. Our family of therapists are here to help you on your journey toward health and wellness. We strive to offer no wait appointments in person and online via Tele Health.

My name is Dr. Lori Radner. My staff and I provide neuropsychological testing services finding causes and solutions to learning problems or diagnosing various disorders including ADHD, Aspergers, Traumatic Brain Injury, Anxiety, Giftedness, etc. I receive referrals from pediatricians, neurologists, tutors, teachers. therapists, and private schools to help detect reasons why individuals may be struggling in or outside of school.

I have over 35 years of experience working with children, adults, couples and families on a wide variety of life problems. It is important to find a therapist that is a good fit, someone with whom you feel comfortable and who takes your concerns seriously. My approach is supportive, confidential and empathetic in helping individuals and families recognize their own needs and strengths. It's not uncommon to get stuck in unsatisfying and frustrating situations. Through our relationship you can start to become aware of issues that interfere with feeling better and use your strengths to make changes and move forward.

My role is to honor your decision to take steps toward a healthy mind, spirit and lifestyle. I am offering therapy that is tailored to your specific needs, an empathetic ear, and a therapeutic relationship based on full acceptance and mutual trust. My office is a space where all who enter can be fully-authentic. A place where hope is instilled, healing takes place, and lives are changed for the better.

With 30 years experience I am best suited to treat a varied and diverse clientele including affective disorders, developmental disabilities, personality disorders, and identity issues. My ideal client would possess the following qualities: relationship orientated, flexible, empathetic, emotionally and financially stable, open minded, emotionally intelligent, physically healthy, educated, motivated, insightful, creative, verbal, cooperative, responsible, caring, sensitive, persistent, organized, intelligent, goal-orientated, emotionally and socially supported.My office is handicapped accessible. My hours of operation are designed to meet the needs of clients.

I specialize in independent and clinical neuropsychological evaluations with adults 18 years and older who have a traumatic brain injury from events such as car accidents, work accidents, slip and falls, and strokes; or who have cognitive impairments from dementia. I also perform psychological evaluations of emotions and personality issues, and treatment, with adults 18 years and older, for traumatic events as well as for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, and physical disabilities and conditions such as chronic pain. I can perform psychological evaluations and psychotherapy via telehealth videoconferencing.

I see adults (individual & couples), adolescents, and children 12+. My ultimate goal is to not only help my clients overcome their presenting issues, but also to foster within them a deeper, more complete understanding of themselves, as well as any relevant diagnoses. It is true that therapy can at times feel difficult, but the benefits (hope, support, validation, relief from trauma, reflective guidance, coping skills, insight into sources of distress, strategies for strengthening relationships, psychoeducation, etc.) can be lifelong and, with the right psychotherapist-client fit, even the most challenging sessions feel therapeutic.

I help clients gain clarity on their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions as they navigate life's challenges. I have experience supporting clients with perinatal/postpartum transitions, parenting, and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and adjustment disorders. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals through perinatal and postpartum transitions, including postpartum anxiety/depression and offering assistance to seasoned, new, soon-to-be, and hopeful parents. I also assist clients with executive functioning, academic skills, 504 plans, IEPs, post-secondary disability services, and mental health.

Finding a healthy balance between living life in a valued direction, while balancing the pressures, expectations, and stressors of work, school, and relationships is no small feat. These stressors may lead to anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and a feeling of helplessness. We assist clients in navigating these stressors, while utilizing evidenced based and strength based approaches in therapy to allow them to feel respected, validated, and capable throughout this journey of mental health improvement.

Do you feel stuck, yearning to change, but are stalled at the starting blocks? Are you drowning in a life transition?

If you're mired in personal, family, health, job, or academic challenges, let's dive into your concerns, uncover your underlying issues, and get you back in balance. You'll become empowered to resolve, stabilize, and thrive. My years as a Licensed Psychologist give me the tools to evaluate and effectively address personal, emotional, and adjustment issues.

I would like to assist you in identifying, diagnosing, and treating any and all of your mental health concerns.

My supportive and collaborative approach is tailored to each clients' unique background and values to help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to navigate your concerns. My eclectic approach will incorporate principles from various theoretical approaches to help guide you in achieving your goals.

Therapy can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. As a therapist, I adopt a collaborative, person-centered approach to therapy (with a little bit of humor mixed in). It is this perspective that makes me a great fit for clients who are looking for a space to be their most authentic and vulnerable selves. I strive to create a safe supportive relationship and deeply value feedback and dialogue, fostering a space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. This may be experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and racial/ethnic/gender exploration or concerns.

Let's face it. Life likes to throw us curve balls. Are you dealing with unresolved childhood issues or trauma? Do you have trouble in social situations?Do you often feel isolated and alone? Is your anxiety and depression dominating your daily routine? I work with individuals who struggle with low moods, uneasiness and loneliness.
