Compassionate Connections Counseling, Dr. Lori Schade, LMFT

"Me and my wife have been meeting with Ash for a while now and he is awesome. He asks such good questions that really help us to think, connect and communicate. He is really good at making analogies and comparisons and has been helping our marriage a lot! I have seen other therapists before and none of them compare to him. We have felt like we were coming to him with something dumb and he made it so meaningful and made us feel important."

"I went to Lori Schade as an insecure overly anxious single woman in her 40s who had been given far too much advise and was dealing with childhood trauma and PTSD. I wanted to get over hurdles and hoped to finally find myself in a place where I might actually be able to have a healthy relationship and maybe even get married. I chose Dr. Schade because of her reputation, her background and that she helped with trauma, relationships, eating disorders and PTSD. I’ve gone to other therapists who were good but didn’t have the toolset I needed. Dr. Schade used different methods including EMDR and other things and I felt better after even just 2 sessions. I never once felt embarrassed about opening up..she understands and validates being human and allows room for growth. I can’t say this will be the result for everyone but for me, she helped me make breakthroughs and gave me the opposite advise I’d been given as within 6 months of working with her I navigated 2 relationships that didn’t work out and then worked me through another one. I sit here writing this review as I talk to my husband about what we will be doing this next week. Neither my husband nor I have been married before but because of the guidance Dr. Schade has given, I feel prepared to continue to navigate this healthy committed relationship. She gets it and gets people. I can’t say enough good about her and her practice. She comes with my highest recommendation!"

"I had been wanting to start counseling for a long time and I’m so grateful to have found help here. They are easy to schedule with, and sessions have gone really well. We felt like they focused well on understanding ourselves, and each other and our cycles in the heat of the moment and learning tools so we can identify and control and direct ourselves. We plan to continue to come and get better"

"I cannot say enough good about Lori! She is kind, easy to connect with, experienced and brilliant. I highly recommend her! And since she chooses the other therapists that work for her, I can only imagine they must be amazing, too."

"I have worked professionally with Lori for years. She is knowledgeable, dependable, and attuned to the needs of her clients. She is an exceptional marriage therapist. I highly recommend her!"
