Hello, my name is Lou Bardach, owner of Live True Be Well, and therapeutic wellness and reparenting coach. My approach to coaching is similar in some ways to psychotherapy which I am also being trained to do. I'm currently working toward LCSW licensure as a master’s in social work student at the University of Central Florida. I am "IFS informed," having studied the Internal Family Systems psychotherapeutic model through the IFS Institute’s introductory Online Circle program. I have also studied Tibetan-style meditation and mindfulness practices and bring a grounded, person-focused approach to helping and supporting others. I work with clients to create a safe environment to foster self-exploration, healing, and transformation. As a gay man experienced in working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults, I am particularly interested in helping others heal from the effects of homophobia and other types of social oppression through the lens of intersectionality and empowerment.
