Lorena is an unusually skilled clinician whose background spans countries, clinical settings, and roles. She originally trained and practiced as a psychologist in Argentina, where she also taught at the university level and worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community programs. She is the only counselor on the team, invited into the clinic because of her clinical judgment, steadiness, and depth.
Lorena works with children, teens, adults, and families because she understands people through a psychoanalytic lens. For her, what matters is not age group but the subjective experience each person brings: the story they are trying to make sense of and the dynamics shaping their relationships.
She has extensive experience with complex cases, including trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and the kinds of crises that require an experienced clinician who can stay centered. Her style is precise and very thoughtful. She listens closely and helps people understand themselves in ways that allow for real movement and not just symptom relief. She offers sessions in English and Spanish, in person and online.
