Holistic Approach with Dr. Walters-Threat
"Hi there, I'm Dr. Lois Walters-Threat, and while my passion lies in helping people navigate their mental health journeys, there’s so much more to who I am beyond my work. I believe that building trust and connection starts with letting you get to know the person behind the professional.
I’m a creative soul at heart—I love writing poetry and finding beauty in everyday moments. Whether I’m working on a DIY project or spending time with family and friends, I cherish opportunities to bring people together and create something meaningful.
I’m also left-handed, which often sparks fun conversations, and I enjoy looking at the world from unique perspectives, both personally and professionally. When I’m not working, you might find me exploring new ways to make my office more inviting, especially for veterans, or diving into new learning opportunities.
I’m a big believer in growth and self-discovery, and I’ve even coined my personal journey as Loisology—a blend of curiosity, creativity, and self-reflection. It’s that same spirit of growth that I bring to my practice, encouraging others to embrace their own unique paths.
My ultimate goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel truly seen and heard. Whether we’re working together to navigate life’s challenges or celebrating your progress, I want you to feel supported every step of the way. Getting to know my clients as individuals is one of the greatest joys of this work, and I look forward to being part of your journey. Let’s get started on creating the life you deserve!"
