Our Team

Our team has recently grown to better support the needs of our community, and I’m so grateful to be joined by two longtime colleagues and skilled clinicians: Kristie Dilaura, LMSW, and Kate Thornton, LMSW. Both bring a wealth of experience and compassion to their work and are well-equipped to support individuals navigating bariatric and non-bariatric journeys alike. Their presence allows us to offer more availability and personalized care as we continue helping clients build healthier relationships with food, emotions, and themselves.

  • Lora Grabow, LMSW

    At the heart of my practice is the belief that Headwork™ is the missing piece in bariatric care—I offer therapy and support groups that help individuals heal the emotional and psychological layers of their journey with compassion and evidence-based tools.
