Testimonials about Vann & Associates

Lori Vann is not only a great counselor, she is a great speaker and mentor. I have known her for over 5 years and I will be the first to tell you that she is a great person to know and to have on your team. She is one of my go to people when I need advice, need to consult, or need some coaching on how to handle a challenging client case. She only employs the best of the best in the counseling field who specialize in a variety of services to meet the counseling needs of both children and adults especially those who struggle with self-injury behaviors.

I am very familiar with Lori and her entire team. Wonderful therapists that are able to meet the client/patient right where they are. For certain no one else is such a subject matter expert on "Self Injury" than Lori and she has been a bedrock in the therapeutic community for years. Beautiful practice with therapists that just really get it. Each make so much of a difference each day with each client. Engaged. Committed and thorough.

I've known Lori Vann, LPC for the past two years. She is a leading authority on self harm and has done training's for schools all across the country. She is a go to therapist when I need an expert.

I have found Lori to be extremely empathic, professional and ethical. She seems to embrace one’s perspective while helping you see other viewpoints. She is gently confrontational with faulty reasoning and helps you find solutions through strategic questioning. I find Lori to be very talented with the teen population and recommend her services to anyone needing non-biased support and guidance.

There is no counselor who is more dedicated, reliable, and compassionate than Lori Vann. Moreover, she is creative and innovative in her approach to helping clients and I find it even more impressive that she strives to help the families of her clients learn better how they can support and help their loved ones, too.
