Lori Santa Maria, Counselor in Training (CIT)
Clinical Skills and Theory Development
I’m passionate about learning and continually expanding my knowledge to best support my clients. I enjoy exploring different therapeutic approaches and case studies to stay current and provide well-informed care. I recently completed additional training in Grief Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ADHD and Sports Psychology—areas that help me better understand and meet the diverse needs of those I work with.
I believe effective therapy begins with a commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence. As research continues to advance, I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and refining my skills to provide evidence-based, ethical, and culturally responsive care.
For me, professional growth is more than earning certifications—it's an ongoing commitment to becoming the most knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective therapist I can be.
