    Individuals
    Lori Lavinthal is experienced and skilled in working with diverse individual clients in their early adulthood through mid-life. Her approach is non-judgmental, supportive and interactive.

    Couples

    Her approach to couples therapy is engaged, sensitive, and directive. You and your partner can learn to improve communication, enhance intimacy, and put an end to ongoing conflicts (such as: sexual dissatisfaction, money disagreements, unmet needs). You will gain everyday tools to solve problems and enhance your life together. A pre-marital workshop is also available for couples wishing to better prepare themselves for married life. You may choose to learn these skills in private sessions or at a workshop level.

    Children & Adolescents

    Lori Lavinthal’s style of child therapy is derived from years of experience working with children and their families in bay area schools and in private practice. Children are typically seen weekly in individual therapy. Parents are continually involved in the therapy. When appropriate, consultation with schools regarding social, emotional, and behavioral development is also available.
