About Me

I’m Lori Zastrow, LPC, NCC, DBT-LBC, an EMDR-trained therapist and Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinician specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and complex mental health concerns. I work with adults who may feel stuck in patterns shaped by painful experiences, chronic stress, overwhelming emotions, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or a nervous system that rarely seems to fully settle.

My approach to trauma therapy integrates EMDR therapy with evidence-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other trauma-informed approaches. EMDR can help clients process distressing memories and experiences that continue to influence emotions, relationships, beliefs about themselves, and reactions in the present.

I have particular experience working with complex trauma, borderline personality disorder (BPD), chronic emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and individuals who have previously felt that their needs were “too complex” for therapy. As a Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinician, I bring a strong understanding of emotion regulation, coping skills, behavioral patterns, and nervous-system responses into EMDR treatment.

I am also a queer therapist and provide LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally responsive care. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent adults, individuals with ADHD or autism, and clients navigating identity, relationships, masking, burnout, or experiences of invalidation.

My goal is to provide trauma therapy that is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Rather than simply helping clients cope with symptoms, we work toward understanding and processing the experiences underneath them so clients can build a life that feels safer, more connected, and more aligned with who they are.
