Our therapists provide family therapy in Normal, IL

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional, with 40 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and groups work through life’s challenges. Over the course of my career, I have supported clients facing depression, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, addiction, codependency, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. My extensive background also includes career development, employee assistance program services, crisis intervention, and critical incident debriefing.

I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, humanistic perspectives, and family systems work. I also draw on training in Internal Family Systems, addictions, spiritual psychology, and breathwork to guide the healing process.

I believe therapy should empower people to grow, heal, and live more fulfilling lives. My style is warm, collaborative, and respectful, with treatment tailored to your unique needs. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but I will walk beside you on the path to creating a life filled with greater balance, resilience, and joy.

Hello! My name is Lorin Dunston. I currently hold my LCSW and CADC, and I'm in the process of finishing my PhD. I typically work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, and more. I enjoy helping individuals find a new sense of self, love themselves fully, discover new coping skills, and navigate postpartum challenges.

I enjoy working in an informal setting — think of our sessions as talking to your best friend who can never tell your secrets. We'll use modalities like CBT, DBT, grief therapy, and interpersonal therapy. I like to first focus on getting comfortable with each other, creating goals, identifying what may be hard to discuss, and moving forward with growth.

I look forward to working with each and every one of you. I prefer working with ages 10 and above, but I'm always open to a new challenge. Feel free to schedule with me and let's work things out together!
