Tanya Lorenzi, LPC

She uses she/her pronouns. Tanya Lorenzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends her personal journey with professional training to support people facing life challenges. Early in her own life she experienced a series of medical and family stressors - her youngest was born prematurely, and eight months later she learned she needed a kidney transplant. With a husband serving in the Navy and two small children at home, she fell into a deep depression and relied on therapeutic support to find a path forward. When her transplant made a career in medicine no longer possible, she redirected her desire to help others and found her calling in counseling.

Tanya’s work centers on helping individuals and couples navigate current struggles and emerge with greater resilience and connection. She finds deep satisfaction in completing services with someone who has reclaimed strength and moved toward meaningful change. Tanya holds two master’s degrees in counseling and recently became a sex therapist, which expands her ability to work with clients across the lifespan.

Her clinical orientation includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an action-oriented approach that encourages people to accept thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a psychotherapy method used to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories. Tanya relocated from New York City in 2012 and has made Augusta, Georgia her home.

Her family supported her through her educational journey, and now, with her two children grown and living in different places, she shares her home with three large dogs and recently welcomed her first granddaughter. Tanya looks forward to connecting with those ready to take a step toward rediscovering themselves and their strengths.
