Lorie Hershberger, LPC


   I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, National Certified Counselor and Certified Chemical Dependency Specialist. I have extensive training and experience in the assessment and treatment of individuals and couples. I utilize many approaches in my work with clients. As a trauma and relational therapist, I primarily use a model developed by Pia Mellody, which focuses on healing childhood and relational trauma. In addition, I pull from therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focus Therapy and Family Systems Therapy.

   I am trained and certified as an Eye Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I utilize this trauma model with clients who are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or developmental trauma. These types of traumas have present day profound impact on adult interactions and relationships.

   I offer private counseling to individuals, couples and groups seeking healing from developmental trauma, relational trauma and codependence. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, codependence, grief and loss issues, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, women’s issues and addiction.

   I have over twenty years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. I have maintained a private practice for over twelve years. I have written articles about emotional health and given presentations about mental health and wellness to both professionals and in community settings.

   I moved to Coldwater, Michigan in 2015 were I now sustain a private practice.    I am excepting new clients. Please leave a message on the confidential voicemail at 517-227-9030 and I will return your call.
