I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a collaborative partnership where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, while also creating space for honest conversations and meaningful self-reflection. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia, and I specialize in helping individuals understand their attachment styles and relationship patterns, particularly how past experiences in romantic relationships, family dynamics, and learned beliefs influence the way they connect with themselves and others. Whether you're navigating relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or recurring patterns in dating and relationships, we'll work together to explore what may be contributing to these challenges. My goal is to help you move beyond simply recognizing your patterns to understanding where they come from and developing healthier ways of responding. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional awareness, stronger boundaries, improved communication, and more secure, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

Hi, there, I'm Lori Posnansky. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I bring to my practice a wealth of life experience. Prior to my 13-year practice as a mental health clinician, I worked in management in the telecommunications and banking industries. I grew a home health business from start-up to sale to a national healthcare company. As an 18-year cancer survivor, mental and physical wellness has been an integral part of my life. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and have witnessed repeatedly how this modality, in a short span of time, can improve your functioning. I thrive on enabling people with both medical and behavioral challenges to work toward a better quality of life by reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. I welcome those who prefer a Christian perspective to treatment." I love to develop a great rapport by listening to your burdens and expressing compassion. I also feel it's important to help you move beyond your struggles by providing workable solutions you can implement in your life. As a cancer survivor, my perspective on life changed dramatically after the diagnosis. I was drawn to help others who were struggling with difficult life experiences and returned to school in midlife to become a therapist. What do you want your life to look like in the next 6 months? We will work together to come up with a plan that will help you achieve those goals. During our first session, we will get to know each other, and explore why you are seeking help and how we can make improvements. I will explain what approach I will use and the way our sessions will be conducted.
