(she/they)
Hi, I’m Lorren, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I create a space where you can be fully yourself, where healing is about coming home to who you are with compassion and clarity. I work mostly with adults in their teens, 20s, and 30s, and center BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and marginalized identities in my work. I specialize in childhood trauma recovery, identity exploration, grief, and relationship therapy (including non-traditional structures like ethical non-monogamy). My approaches vary from EMDR, Person Centered Therapy, The Gottman Method for Couples/Relationship Therapy, and I have a deep commitment to social justice and systems awareness. When it fits, I bring creativity and nature into sessions as tools for healing.
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other and going over a few housekeeping items like confidentiality, boundaries, and expectations. I’ll ask about your background and what led you to seek therapy, and together we’ll begin identifying your goals. This session is about creating a safe, collaborative space where you can begin your healing process with clarity and intention.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to meet each client with deep respect, curiosity, and care for their unique story. I’ve supported clients through a wide range of life transitions, grief, trauma, identity development, and everyday stressors; always centering their lived experiences and values. I also bring strength and sensitivity to relationship therapy, working well with couples and those in non-traditional or non-monogamous partnerships.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are ready to engage in therapy. My primary focus is on young adults, particularly those aged 20–40, from BIPOC, African American, and LGBTQ+ communities. I offer support to individuals navigating trauma, identity exploration, anxiety, grief, and relationship dynamics. Additionally, I provide relationship therapy for couples and individuals exploring ethical non-monogamy or polyamory.
