Psychology Today Profile

Lori Granger, LMFT, M.S.

I see mental health as the intentional practice of cultivating a peaceful mind and an open heart. Declaring peace in the battle with internal voices and opening our hearts to ourselves with compassion for our unique personal struggle, helps remove barriers to healing and happiness in the present moment. I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy in individual, couple and group formats. The process is unique in that it marries the practice of mindfulness meditation with cognitive skill building to help relieve anxiety, depression, substance abuse, emotional eating, multi-task stress, and obsessive thinking as well as relationship challenges.

Changes experienced now, can be life-long as the tools of breath-body awareness and integration become immediately available to us in times of high stress and confusion. I have trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn, (recently featured on Oprah) father of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and lead MBSR classes.

I also teach MB-EAT - Eating Awareness Training, a program created by Dr. Jean Kristeller and supported by NIH grants. I have created Mindfulness-Based Awareness and Compassion Training (MB-ACT) which guides group participants to calm their minds and open their hearts to themselves and others.
