Hi, I'm so happy you're here! My name is Lori Brinkley and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of clinical experience. I treat a wide range of areas including trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, postpartum, adult children of alcoholics, co-dependency, parenting/co-parenting, boundaries, divorce, caretaking, work-life balance, adoptees, and couples feeling disconnected and isolated. I also provide "couple's counseling for one" which is when one partner is not ready for therapy, where I meet with the willing participant to learn new tools, coping skills, & boundaries to implement in their relationship.

My journey to becoming a therapist started in an art room. I attended NCSU's College of Design, which led to teaching high school art for several years. Teaching allowed me to find my calling as a therapist and consultant. I graduated from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social work in 2008, and have since pursued Certifications in Addictions, Self-Compassion, & the work of Dr. Brené Brown. I also have specific training in Emotionally Focused Individual and Family Therapy which is based on attachment theory as well as AEDP, an experiential therapy model that helps heal trauma through corrective emotional experiences.

While life's struggles are inevitable, you don't have to walk the journey alone. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-worth, and co-dependency, and I have a particular passion for joining with clients through the difficulties of addiction. I trust that a successful relationship between counselor and client is based on mutual trust and respect. I believe that optimal wellness is achieved by caring for the whole person; mental, emotional and physical. I collaborate with other mental health and medical professionals to help meet the needs of my clients.

Accepting New Clients. I believe growth and healing is a natural part of life. I understand that growing up or navigating life can feel complicated and confusing, especially when we don't understand what we are feeling or why we are acting in certain ways. We can get discouraged or overwhelmed. I help children and adults move past the experiences and internalized messages that can leave us feeling stuck, confused, or unsure. We can work together to help you/your child get back to- or perhaps discover for the first time- that place of curiosity, safety, and genuineness that lives inside.

Adults with Aspergers (a/k/a Autism Spectrum Disorder) have extraordinary challenges coping with everyday life. This is a result of neurological differences in emotional wiring, communications, social interaction, sensory and executive functioning.

I offer a validating environment to better understand the "typical world," and develop coping skills to manage everyday life--as well as a creative space for couples to learn about their differences and work towards acceptance.
