Lorraine Durrett, LCSW

Lorraine Durrett, LCSW, Do you and your partner have difficulty communicating?  Does trying to balance relationship, family, work and, dare I say, time for yourself overwhelm you?  Throughout her 20+ years of experiences Lorraine has been helping couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship, infertility, anxiety and ADHD issues.  Very often we are stuck in the circle of trying to stay ahead and forget to take care of ourselves.  We suffer in silence as no one talks about the difficulties in balancing all that is expected of us and takes courage to reach out to ask for help. Working together in a safe place you will begin to explore the issues and develop a plan.  Lorraine is looking forward to working with you and helping you to get your life back to where you want it to be.
