Welcome! I’m Lori Smith, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Sowa Holistic Therapy & Wellness. I created this practice to offer compassionate, integrative mental health care that supports the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. With years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in anxiety, as well as helping individuals, couples, and families navigate relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I draw from a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic techniques—to help clients manage anxiety, regulate their emotions, and reconnect with themselves and others. In addition to individual work, I offer integrative sex and couples therapy, supporting clients in exploring emotional and physical intimacy, improving communication, and fostering meaningful reconnection. My approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and develop effective coping strategies that support long-term well-being. Whether you’re seeking help for a specific issue or looking for deeper personal growth, I’m here to guide you on your journey.
