My Approach

My name is Louice Torres, but everyone calls me Lo. I'm a native of Sweden and have called the Hudson Valley home for over ten years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from State University of New York at New Paltz.

My style is straightforward, with lots of hope and playfulness. I use Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, (DDP) as my guides in my practice.

We all seek connection in life. We all long for and look for safety in our relationships. When you are at your weakest and need the sense of calm and security of your partner’s loving arms, can you be vulnerable enough to ask them to hold you? Getting there is hard. When you share your emotions when you are vulnerable, you are taking a risk with your feelings. You risk getting hurt again. If your trust is violated and the response is not what you expected or needed, it can become a hurt, a wound: an attachment injury. Attachment injuries make it more difficult to share your feelings in the future.

In session we will repair the attachment injuries. We will work through the hurts. We will work towards learning how to trust again. We will practice how to approach our loved ones. We will find a path for you to feel connected again.
