PROFESSIONAL BIO
Lodi Siefer has been a supervisor at Noeticus since 2011 and serves as the Coordinator of the Practicum and Pre-Internship Training Program as well as one of our clinical supervisors. She has a Master's degree in psychology from Naropa University, a Bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan University in Religion with a concentration in Buddhism and Feminist Theology, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Trained in Contemplative Psychotherapy, she brings a blend of Eastern and Western understandings of the mind to her clinical as well as supervisory practice. She believes mental health means being able to experience one’s life directly while maintaining stability within a range of emotions. Within even the most painful psychological symptom is a seed of wisdom, a sane attempt to cope with a situation that appeared overwhelming at some point during one’s development.
Lodi uses a client-centered, health-oriented approach to uncover that wisdom in clients and her trainees. She sees the role of the supervisor as modeling the curiosity and gentleness necessary to see oneself and the situation clearly. When one can experience and accept oneself "as is," therapeutic change and clinical skills naturally unfold. She has experience working with mood disorders, grief, eating disorders, trauma, and survivors of intimate partner violence. She is committed to a life-long process of becoming more culturally competent and has worked with people from diverse cultures, the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities. She seeks to listen with an open heart, meet others where they are, and support awareness.
