Hello, I'm Dr. Louis!
I'm a psychologist, and I offer online, evidence-based therapy to help people overcome difficult emotions and live more meaningful lives.
LOUIS FORMICA, PH.D.

CONSIDERING THERAPY?
We all want to live with purpose and meaning, but our paths in life are not always clear. Sometimes you may feel like you’re on a wrong path. You might feel overwhelmed by everything on your plate. You might find yourself stuck in the past or getting wrapped up in thoughts about the future. Sometimes we are so wounded by past traumas that it is hard to see a way forward.
The truth is, you deserve to live a life that isn't dictated by worry, sadness, or trauma.
Therapy is an opportunity to begin changing the way you think, feel, and behave. Therapy offers a chance to recognize unhelpful patterns, resolve looming problems, and develop strategies for tackling life’s obstacles.
We simply cannot go through life without relying on help or guidance from others at some point in our lives. I provide help when you are especially feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious—when the things that have helped you in the past no longer work. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer specialized help rooted in approaches validated by research.
Stuffing away problems is a temporary fix that makes things worse in the long run. Together, let’s grow your ability to better manage challenges in life.
Each session, I promise to dedicate my full attention. I will strike a balance between supporting and challenging you so that you can free yourself from what may be weighing you down. I look forward to hearing from you.
