About Lori Trumbauer & Solace Counseling

Hello! I'm so glad you are here! My name is Lori Trumbauer. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I believe counseling is a collaborative effort. I will work with you to create goals you want to achieve in your journey and empower you to work through the "hard stuff" by using creative approaches to help move you forward. I use evidence-based approaches and techniques such as CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused Therapy. If you are in need of a Christian perspective within your life situation, with your initiated request, I also provide Christian counseling and would be happy to include God within our sessions, if that means praying with you, for you, or exploring who you are in Christ. 

Therapy Services Lori Offers

  • Adolescents (14+)

  • Family Therapy

  • Couples/Marriage Counseling

  • Grief Counseling

  • Domestic Violence

First of all, congratulations on taking the first steps into investing in YOU! I believe that we all have a "purpose" in this world. Sometimes we can get caught up in the chaos of life that we tend to lose ourselves and who we are. Some look at getting counseling as a sign of weakness when in reality, it is actually a great strength! I think it takes a lot of bravery and self-motivation to reach out and take time to say "yes" to your own healing & well-being. Taking that step can be scary & can come with a lot of mixed emotions. 

We all need to know someone will meet us right where we're at without any judgement and just walk with us in our pain & struggle. When you join a session with me, my goal is to provide a safe environment where you can feel heard & validated as we work together towards healing and purpose. If you feel this is what you have been looking for and are ready to take the next steps, then please come see me so we can begin that journey together!

Some of the specialties Lori practices in

  • Anxiety, Depression, & Mood Dysregulation

  • Grief & Loss

  • Family Conflict

  • Self-Esteem & Self-Image Issues

  • Self-Harm

  • Romantic & Peer Relationship Issues

  • Behavioral Interventions

Aside from being a therapist, I am...

  • A Coffee Lover, Iced or Extra Hot!

  • A Mom

  • A Wife

  • An Enjoyer of vegging out and watching movies, mysteries, documentaries, or catching up on my Prime Time Shows

  • A Singer and Music Lover

  • Someone Who Values a Relationship with Jesus

  • A Bison Football Fan!

  • One who finds the Black Hills of South Dakota my happy place!

When you are with me you are free to set down that heavy load you are carrying, so we can unpack it together. There is no risk of upsetting or disappointing me. I am here for you with something called unconditional positive regard. All I ask is that you bring me your raw and unfiltered self. You can expect honesty, transparency, humor, and respect out of me. I am always open to discussing any concerns you have about confidentiality or the counseling process.

Invitation to Brave Space By Micky ScottBey Jones

Together we will create brave space
Because there is no such thing as a “safe space”
We exist in the real world
We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.
In this space
We seek to turn down the volume of the outside world,
We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere,
We call each other to more truth and love
We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.
We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know.
We will not be perfect.
This space will not be perfect.
It will not always be what we wish it to be
But
It will be our brave space together,
and
We will work on it side by side

I am I glad you’re considering therapy! It isn’t an easy decision to make, and finding the right therapist is vital. I’m guessing you’ve done your fair share of debating, trying self-help, and searching for the right solution. Perhaps now you know you need to talk to someone else, find some validation, and someone who isn’t already involved.

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope to be that support that you’ve been looking for. You will find my therapy style is very relaxed yet progress-driven. It will be a safe place to share feelings that you may not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere. My goal is to help you feel well enough to work towards your goals. Together, we can help you get through obstacles, and to a place where you feel more joy, happiness, or even just a feeling of “normal” rather than stressed or depressed.

About Brittany Schank & Solace Counseling

Hello! Thank you so much for coming here! My name is Brittany Schank. I am a licensed clinical social worker, but you might also call me an encourager for those who have lost part of themselves, a listening ear, a hope finder, and a space holder for healing. I believe we need less fixing and more loving, less perfection and more appreciation for who we are, and less criticism and more encouragement around us.

*Please note Brittany is not accepting new clients at this time.

Therapy Services Brittany Offers

I am I glad you’re here. I’m guessing you’ve done your fair share of google searches (or YouTube searches), talked to friends or family, and maybe read a blog or book and are now at a point of realizing what’s going on might be bigger than a quick fix. Perhaps you’ve been to therapy before and it wasn’t the right fit or didn’t see the progress you were hoping for. I am passionate about supporting you on this journey.

During our time together, you can expect to feel comfortable, validated, and heard. My therapy style is very laid back, but productive. We will be serious. We will laugh. We will cry. We will joke. And we will work-hard. My job is to make that work feel achievable and less intimidating.

If this feels right to you, come and join me!
