Dr. Lori Pandolfo, PsyD.

Clinical Psychologist

Lori Pandolfo, Psy.D. (License #PSY22049) is Santa Rosa Psychotherapy’s clinical psychologist. Dr. Pandolfo offers holistic clinical psychotherapy, to cultivate well being and navigate life's challenges. At Santa Rosa Psychotherapy, we seek to offer the best mental healthcare and psychological support to you and your loved ones. We bring a growth-based mindset to help you cultivate a space of healing, vitality, authentic optimism, and and safety in your life and relationships.

Some psychologists invest their life in research, studying and participating in the academic process to grow their grasp of techniques and engage in the best thinking of our time. Others devote their time to patient care, spending their work hours with clients to help them become healthier right now. Dr. Lori Pandolfo is one of the rare psychologists who manage both. She is in full time practice here at Santa Rosa Psychotherapy, while also continuing to acquire new insights and techniques, and adopting best practices as they become available in the professional community.

Here we believe that growth is a lifelong endeavor, and that human beings matter. She makes the same efforts to help clients reach their potential in sessions that she makes to reach her own as a clinician.

The network of respected colleagues and collaborators she has developed are a resource that enriches her practice and expands the scope of care she can provide. It also shows you her heart for giving excellent care. She has supported clients through terminal diagnosis, major professional transitions, family life balance, trauma and pregnancy loss, developmental disabilities, and mood disorders. Each person matters to her. Whether you seek to heal hurts from the past, repair broken relationships, or invigorate your life to thrive, Dr. Pandolfo is here to support you.

Psychotherapy can positively impact life stressors, especially those which seem insurmountable. Therapy is a unique, joint opportunity to look at how and why you think, feel, and act the way you do in a safe, confidential setting. In turn, you can develop wise, practical solutions for meaningful, beautiful living.
