Lori Cox-Buday, LPC |

My passion is working with those that experience gender dysphoria and are exploring their gender identity, as well as other LQBTQIA+ folx and families. I also do a lot of work with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I welcome working with youth that also struggle with OCD, trauma and ASD to help them on their journey.

Care Philosophy

I meet kids where they are, to empower them so they know how best to take care of themselves, while coaching them and their family on how to work together as a team and set everyone up for success.

Interests & Activities

Personal Interests

I love my cats and dog, and like to run and hike. I'm a foodie who likes trying out new vegetarian recipes, and indulging in outdoor and portrait photography. When I read, it's almost always non-fiction, and my console of choice is the Nintendo Switch.

Volunteer Activities

I like to be involved with my child's school events (PTO, helping in the library), and in the neighborhood and community in which I live to help support and foster a sense of belonging and community. Most recently, before moving, I was a Clinical Supervisor for the St. Louis Queer Support Helpline for a number of years.
