Dr. Lois Horowitz, PhD, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Difficult emotions are a part of being human. But when anxiety, depression, or painful relationships begin to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to find your way forward. Psychotherapy offers a supportive space to feel more grounded, build self-confidence, and begin to heal from the inside out. For over 30 years, I’ve been dedicated to helping people reduce anxiety, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life’s challenges with more clarity and resilience. My approach blends psychodynamic therapy with insights from neuroscience, helping clients understand how emotional experiences are shaped by both psychological and biological factors. Together, we work toward tools and strategies that help regulate emotions—even those that feel unbearable. In both individual and couples therapy, I offer a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. I work with adults of all sexual orientations and identities, and I bring special expertise in supporting LGBTQ+ clients. In couples therapy, I welcome people in traditional marriages, open relationships, and polyamorous partnerships. Please visit my website to learn more about me and the way that I work. We can also have a ten-minute chat to see if I'm the right fit for you.

I treat individuals for anxiety, depression, troubled relationships at home and at work, work goals and stress, and quality of life issues. When I treat couples I help them to gain a deeper understanding of their problems and teach them tools to resolve them.. I also have a specialty in treating the psychological issues that impact the LGBTQ+ population. For example, identity and coming out issues, navigating minority stress in their personal and work relationships, and couple issues that are unique to the LGBTQ+ population.
