Meet our therapists:
Laure Rohrs Gargano, LCSW, CADC, CCDP, MAC
For over 30 years, I have walked alongside individuals of all ages — children, teens, adults, couples, and groups — carrying some of life's heaviest burdens: complex trauma, mood disorders, addiction, and the painful patterns that keep people stuck.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced certifications in addiction counseling (CADC, CCDP) and as a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC). My training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Psychodrama informs a deeply integrative approach — one that works not just with your thoughts, but with your nervous system, your story, and the parts of you that have been protecting you for years.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. My practice is a space where every identity is welcomed, respected, and honored. You do not need to explain or justify who you are here.
My approach is experiential and collaborative — healing isn't something I do to you, it's something we work toward together. I work best with kids, teens, and adults who are ready to go a little deeper — to understand not just what they struggle with, but why, and how to genuinely heal it.
What you can expect from working with me: a space that is honest, unhurried, and genuinely safe — where I meet you where you are, with curiosity and openness.

Lorie Kurrel LCSW CAADC
Lorie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor with eight years of experience supporting individuals through substance use disorders, trauma, and mental health challenges. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Social Work from Widener University.
Lorie works with both adolescents and adults, with a focus on substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and trauma.

Lorie brings warmth, empathy, and a genuine commitment to healing to every client she works with — whether they're navigating everyday challenges or working through complex trauma.
Leslie Dvorshock LSW
I believe every behavior makes sense once we understand the story behind it.
For more than three decades, I have worked alongside individuals, couples, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life's unexpected turns — across outpatient, residential, crisis, forensic, and critical incident settings. Each experience has reinforced one truth: people are remarkably resilient, even when they no longer believe that about themselves.
I specialize in trauma and the ways overwhelming experiences shape the nervous system, relationships, and our sense of self. My training includes EMDR, IFS, DBT, and Polyvagal Theory, and I provide gender-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming care where every person feels respected and safe enough to be fully themselves.
I don't believe my clients are broken. Their minds and nervous systems adapted brilliantly to survive difficult experiences. What once protected them may no longer be serving them — but those adaptations deserve understanding before they deserve changing.
My approach is experiential, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we work to understand how the past shapes the present, build on the strengths that helped you survive, and create new ways of responding that foster connection and hope.
Healing happens in relationship. It is an honor to keep showing up — session after session — until you begin to believe in your own capacity to heal.

How we can help:
Anxiety
Worry that won't shut off. Constant tension. Always waiting for something to go wrong. If anxiety is running your life, we can help you understand it, manage it, and find your way back to calm.
Emotion Regulation:
When emotions feel too big, too fast, or impossible to manage — you're not broken, you just need better tools. We'll help you understand your emotional patterns and build real, practical skills to respond to life without shutting down or spinning out.
Depression
More than sadness — depression makes everything feel heavy, distant, and exhausting. We'll help you understand what's driving it and find your way back to a life that feels worth showing up for.
Trauma, PTSD and EMDR
The past has a way of living in the present — in your body, your relationships, and the stories you tell about yourself. EMDR and trauma-informed therapy help you process what happened so it stops running your life today.
How we work with you
At LRG Counseling, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based methods — tailored to you, your story, and what healing looks like for you specifically, supporting you to achieve your goals. We work with children, teens, adults and couples.
1
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions tailored to you. Together we'll explore what's getting in the way, build the skills and insight you need, and work at a pace that feels right — so you can start living the life you want.
2
Group Therapy
Healing in community can be powerful. Our therapy groups offer a supportive space to learn, grow, and connect with others who truly understand what you're going through.
3
Psychodrama
An experiential, action-based approach that goes beyond words — helping you bring insight to life, explore new perspectives, and unlock healing that talk therapy alone sometimes can't reach.
4
Couples and Families
Relationships take work — and sometimes we need support to do it well. We help couples and families improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection in a safe, neutral space.
5
EMDR
Sometimes talking about what happened isn't enough. EMDR works differently — helping your brain process trauma at a deeper level, so old wounds stop showing up in your everyday life.
6
Substance Abuse & Recovery
Compassionate, non-judgmental support for addiction and substance use challenges, including co-occurring mental health concerns. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through recovery alone
7
Telehealth Services
Can't make it in person? No problem. We offer secure, convenient telehealth sessions for clients across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and South Carolina — bringing quality therapy to wherever you are.
