Lori LoManto Releases New Book
“Finding the Eyes to See“
In addition to celebrating the ribbon cutting, Lori LoManto is also marking another milestone with the release of her new book, Finding the Eyes to See. In this compelling memoir, she shares her journey through childhood illness, trauma, and addiction, and how she ultimately found healing and renewal.
With honesty and courage, Lori details her path from suffering to recovery, offering hope and encouragement to those facing similar struggles. Today, with “new eyes to see,” she has come full circle — turning her past experiences into strength as a licensed therapist and community leader.
The book has been praised by professionals and readers alike. Dr. David Migliore, DDS, PhD, described it as “a must-read for anyone who has suffered from addiction, or has a family member or friend who has. The wisdom in this book is a product of a life that found a way to see beauty with new eyes.”
LoManto’s story not only inspires but also reflects the mission of Global Motivational Counseling Center: to empower individuals and families to heal, grow, and thrive through compassionate and accessible mental health care.
