About Lorraine Serafini

Lorraine believes meaningful therapy begins with feeling truly seen. Her approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the patterns that shape our lives and creating space for greater clarity, connection, meaningful change, and relief from suffering.

She works with preteens, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, neurodivergence, relationship concerns, parenting and co-parenting challenges, self-esteem difficulties, and major life transitions. In her work with young people and those who care for them, Lorraine is attentive to identity development, emotional regulation, behavioral patterns, peer and family dynamics, and the ways screens, social media, gaming, and sexual content can influence self-image, relationships, boundaries, well-being, and patterns of compulsive use.

Lorraine has particular interests in women’s mental health, pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, single parenting, and caregiver support. She brings experience supporting caregivers as they navigate the emotional weight and complexity of caring for loved ones who are neurodivergent or living with complex mental health conditions, dementia, or terminal illness. Her clinical experience also includes grief, bereavement, and significant life transitions.

Her therapeutic work integrates attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic perspectives. Lorraine is also EAGALA-certified and brings experience in equine-assisted psychotherapy, an experiential background that informs her attention to relationships, regulation, behavior, and nonverbal communication. Rather than applying a single framework to every person, she seeks to understand each client within the context of their history, relationships, strengths, culture, and lived experience.

At the heart of Lorraine’s work is a simple belief: people deserve a place where they can be known without judgment, understand themselves more fully, and feel supported as they move toward a life that feels more connected, intentional, and their own.
