Lorie Bratetich (she/her) ~ Intake Coordinator

How I Can Help

You'll meet me when you reach out to Forward Wellness for the first time. I handle all of the new intakes. My goal is to be kind and helpful and work with you to find the best fit I can, considering your needs, availability, and insurance. I have a great feeling for our clinicians and will do my best to place you with someone who's a great match.

Some Fun Facts

I love the outdoors - kayaking, hiking, and just sitting and watching the birds at the feeder (I'm of that age – the memes are correct – it's the best!). Coffee, tea, and candles make me happy. Reading is my jam, and I love to do it as often as possible. You can also find me watching my 125-pound rottweiler Nyx because she's so cute.

Quote

"For a long time, it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last, it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." – Alfred D. Souza

Bio

I am a married mom of three boys, 20, 22 and 24. I am finally not AS sad about them growing up and instead enjoying watching them grow into adulthood. I've lived in the South Hills of Pittsburgh my whole life, but I love to travel to check out new neighborhoods and get my husband to take on new adventures.
