Lou Lasprugato, MFT

I view therapy as a precious investment of your values and vulnerabilities, so I aim to honor that investment with my commitment to your well-being. Through a nonjudgmental, authentic and compassionate stance, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for you to explore sensitive issues, experiment with new behaviors, and work towards what matters to you. Whether you'd like to improve the quality of your relationships, health, work or education, or cultivate more meaning and purpose in your life, or address mental health challenges, such as anxiety, in its various manifestations, including OCD, depression, loss, transition, trauma and addiction, I will wholeheartedly support your efforts in fulfilling these goals. My primary approach, for both individuals and couples of diverse backgrounds and orientations, is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), of which I’m also a trainer and consultant for other mental/behavioral health professionals. ACT is an evidence-based practice that promotes the engagement of one's values, along with the skills to effectively navigate the difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences that inevitably show up along the way. I integrate other contextual behavioral approaches, including Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, and I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill your insurance; you are responsible for your fees at the time of your appointment. However, I can provide you with a monthly receipt (“superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement according to your plan and policies. This approach protects your privacy by allowing you to choose whether or not to disclose private health information to your insurer. It also reduces the ability of your insurance provider to affect the scope or extent of your treatment.
