Tanya Lorenzi , LPC

Tanya Lorenzi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) whose personal journey into counseling has shaped her compassionate, client-centered approach. After a series of medical and family challenges - including the premature birth of her youngest child, a subsequent need for a kidney transplant, and a period of deep depression while raising young children with a husband serving in the Navy - she found healing through therapy and chose to redirect her original ambition of becoming a medical doctor into a vocation in counseling. That lived experience informs her work with individuals and couples as she helps them navigate trauma, relationship struggles, mood challenges, and major life transitions.

She holds two master’s degrees in counseling and recently added sex therapy to her areas of practice, expanding the ways she can support adults across the lifespan. Tanya integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an action-oriented method that teaches people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior, with other evidence-informed tools. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy used to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories.

Since relocating from New York City in 2012, Tanya has made Augusta, Georgia her home. Her family journey includes raising two children who are now adults, sharing life with three large dogs, and welcoming a granddaughter. She finds deep satisfaction in guiding people toward renewed resilience and stronger connections.
