Lori Stephens, pNLP, CCP

Over three decades, Lori Stephens has mastered an approach to developing content for psychology practitioners that blends high organization, clarity, and intuition. Her skills have been honed through experience with clients ranging from new writers to corporations including Prentice Hall and Disney Internet Group. She has added the professional polish to B2B documents submitted to Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Cisco Systems, and General Motors.

She says, “My forte is working as liaison and coach, side by side with the writer. Both meticulous and caring, I spend the time to learn your mindset and to understand the tone and direction of your writing (as well as its marketing strategies). In this way, I align precision with passion.”
