Kristie Lomangino, LCSW-C, Neurodivervent Affirming Trauma Specialist in Maryland and New York

It’s time to regain control of your life.

Right now you feel like everyone else is having an easier time and you wish that you had just a minute to yourself to catch your breath.

Well, You can have fifty-five minutes.

I’m here to help you create the meaningful and lasting changes that you want in your life.

We both know that you have already read the books, listened to the podcasts, and gone on those weekend retreats that promise a changed life. Well, yes, those are totally fun and inspiring, and you learn a lot about yourself, but the “live laugh love” vibe dies in a couple of weeks, or if you are lucky, months, and you are back on that old highway singing, “how did I get here?”

Together we can create lasting change by processing those insights and others, and creating a plan to continue that work. Even after you get back on that old highway, especially in times of stress, you know it will just be a detour, and we will get you back on the road “home.”

My style

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can in that moment.

We will work together in a non-judgemental safe space to explore who you are, what you want out of life, and why you want it. We will discuss what you hope the changes will bring and what it would feel like to have those desires realized.

We will look at your past through the lens of present-day situations or interactions to gain insight into what drives your actions and reactions. We will find those protected parts of yourself that want to see the light of day but have been hidden away and create a life that supports those more vulnerable parts to have the confidence to let your “freak flag” fly and live an authentic you.
