Tanya Lorenzi, LPC

Tanya Lorenzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. Her own life events shaped the path to counseling - after the premature birth of her youngest child she learned she would need a kidney transplant eight months later. With a husband in the Navy and two small children, she experienced a severe depression and found her way forward with the support of a skilled therapist. When a transplant made pursuing medical school impossible, she redirected her desire to help others toward a career in counseling.

She holds two master’s degrees in counseling and has recently trained as a sex therapist, allowing her to support clients with intimacy and sexuality concerns across the lifespan. Tanya is trained in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - a therapy for processing traumatic memories, and she specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes taking values-based actions even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, couples work, and motivational strategies as appropriate.

Tanya works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, ADHD, LGBT concerns, family and parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders, and more. Since 2012 she has made Augusta her home after relocating from New York City. Her family supported her through her training; her children are now grown and she lives with three large dogs and recently welcomed her first granddaughter. Tanya is committed to helping individuals and couples build resilience, improve communication, and reconnect with their values and strengths.
