Everyone needs a place for space. A space to be heard. A space to share whatever you want. A space to process feelings, try out new perspectives, laugh, cry, grieve, be angry, talk about betrayal, to fight inner demons, to be brave, to be nervous, to simply BE whoever you are. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing space for people to process whatever they are dealing with. People come to me with a wide range of different issues. I am an eclectic therapist but tend to focus on using cognitive behavioral therapy. I love to meet new people, and I would love to work with you.

I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and taking time to create a deeper connection with yourself. I believe humans are beautifully flawed and complicated, and that by learning to appreciate our imperfections, we can gain a sense of peace and compassion for ourselves and others. New research in the field of neuroscience is providing evidence to support what many clinicians empirically knew: people are forever growing and changing. Interpersonal connection is the access-point to creating meaningful change in our lives from a place of kindness, compassion and free from judgement.

No matter what you do, you feel like you can’t get out from under the weight of the past. You have a hard time connecting with friends and family, or avoid them altogether, because they just can’t understand. You find yourself thinking “it wasn’t that bad. Other people have it worse. So why can't I feel better?” You can't sleep, have aches and pains, and other physical symptoms you can’t explain. Maybe you’ve tried to push these feelings away with work, relationships, alcohol, or Netflix. These feelings and behaviors can make you feel like you’re trapped in a maze with no end in sight.

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.

As a strengths-based and trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping clients to repair deeply held wounds, especially relational wounds, which are often at the core of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Though I work with clients to help alleviate their troubling symptoms, my work is more fully anchored in the belief that the sensitive exploration of underlying injuries enables not just symptom-reduction but transformation and growth.
