We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Lori Lundin-Fish and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Lori, what are you inspired by?
Though there are many things in this world that fill me with purpose, joy, and meaning. I am most inspired by kindness and empathy. As a human being and as a clinician, I believe there is no higher value than a genuine and honest connection. Over time, I have become increasingly aware of the true value of feeling accepted and understood by another entity. Every person has an important story to tell, and every story that is told has the ability to leave a lasting impact on the world. It is my purpose to help others embrace their stories and to feel validated. Kindness and empathy are essential skills that can help increase validation, build strong connections with others, and welcome positivity despite the possibility of stress or chaos.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
In my work, I believe every person has an important story to tell. Each individual and each relationship is quite unique, and so I pay close attention to these details in order to build strength and invite positive change to any situation. In establishing a private practice, I have experienced some fears and challenges along the way. However, I learned that with determination and purpose anything is possible. It is important to maintain focus on one goal at a time to be patient with yourself. I utilize the knowledge I have obtained throughout the years in order to connect genuinely and empathically to each client. I make an effort to understand their struggles on a deeper level and utilize this information to help them achieve their personal and relational goals in life.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have been asked this question many times in my life and my answer has never changed. I would like to dedicate this shoutout to my role model, my sister and valued mentor, Dr. Katie Lundin-Zemnovich. She too is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and has motivated me to follow in the same career path. Thank you for your guidance, your love, and your wisdom.
