Hi. My name is Lauri Stoltzfus and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I'm based in Virginia. I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. Ultimately, the most important part of the therapy process is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I create and foster a collaborative, warm, and comfortable environment where my clients can relax and explore what brought them in for therapy. I see my role as a therapist is to give clients the space to navigate life's stressors, reprocess distressing experiences, and increase self-awareness.

I am a psychotherapist who enjoy lighting the path for others. I believe you are the authority over your own life but sometimes you need someone objective to help you look from the outside in. Coupled with my clinical expertise, I am emotionally attuned to others. I often recognize others’ feelings and intuitively understand where these sentiments come from. As a result, I often know what to say to help find solutions that address the individuals’ concerns.

Being vulnerable is hard, it's uncomfortable and it is entirely human. I view therapy as an opportunity to explore what it means to be fully human, ultimately allowing for increased awareness and acceptance to all the parts that have shaped us. My role as the therapist is to help make this exploration manageable through co-creating an environment that is both safe and judgement free. My approaches are primarily person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative. I believe that each client is unique and take the time to know them individually and holistically.

Looking for help is difficult; especially, when it comes to something so personal to us, like our mental health. My first goal is to offer a safe, warm, and comfortable environment so that individuals, couples, and families can gain relief and truly thrive intrapersonally and with others. I specialize in trauma, addictions (both chemical and behavioral), anxiety disorders, and complex grief. Before joining private practice, I worked across multiple environments including inpatient hospitals, rehab facilities, and outpatient settings. I also spent a bulk of my training providing care to military and first responders.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
