Meet Dr. Heloise (Lois) Ridley,
EdD, MBA, MA, LPC, NCC
I support adults struggling to connect with others, establish healthy boundaries, or communicate within their current relationships due to early childhood trauma.
I utilize a trauma-informed, culturally attuned lens to support you as a client with unconditional regard and occasional humor.
Based upon your needs and preferences as a client, my clinical orientation can include a blend of AEDP, family systems, trauma-healing, strengths-based, and narrative therapy.
I strive to provide a “no judgement zone” for you as clients to pursue your healing.
I believe I serve as a cheerleader in your journey towards new hope and resilience.
“The brain can do a lot of really hard work for a really long time – as long as it doesn’t have to do it by itself.”
– Dr. Curt Thompson
