About Our Counselors
Lou Lou, MA, ATR-P

I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate their unique challenges. I specialize in identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personal growth. I utilize a blend of traditional talk therapy, art, nature, and personality theory to create an accepting space for self-exploration and healing.
Aetna and Self-Pay accepted.

Having worked with diverse populations across the lifespan, I am particularly passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and those grappling with gender, sexuality and health concerns. My personal journey with chronic illness has given me insight into the struggles many face. And I have always been bold, straightforward, and different, which often left me feeling misunderstood. This feeling of disconnection has deepened my awareness of the challenges faced by those who feel marginalized or alone in their experiences. I empathize deeply with the challenges of life and strive to foster a compassionate and collaborative environment where open communication thrives. I am comfortable with profanity—because sometimes, a candid expression can be liberating.
I believe in empowering clients to uncover their strengths and embrace their journeys. Together, we can cultivate resilience and build healthier relationships, guiding you toward a more fulfilling life.
“The nature of this flower is to bloom.” – Alice Walker.

My own experiences with finding support during tough times inspired me to become a counselor. Life can be incredibly challenging, and many events are beyond our control, leading to feelings of helplessness.
I’m particularly passionate about perinatal mental health, stemming from my own experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety. I’ve seen a significant need for compassionate, accessible care during conception, pregnancy, and postpartum. My goal is to help you navigate these transitions with kindness, non-judgment, and genuine support.
