Practiced behaviors become influential patterns that transcend generations. Unfortunately, abusive cycles committed by our caregivers or those we hold dear to our hearts manifest into routine, emotional pain, which can feel impossible to break. We find ourselves normalizing abuse to love our abusers even when it hurts. Being raised in unhealthy environments shifts our perceptions. Over time, we develop coping and protective mechanisms to avoid reopening emotional wounds. These learned unhealthy practices dictate our interactions with others. I am Loryn Chás (Chase), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor passionate about empowering clients to actualize their greatness despite their perceived setbacks. I specialize in helping people break generational cycles of abuse and overcome their fears by learning the power of changing their perceptions of themselves and others. I use a structured yet holistic approach to navigate clients to their desired goals or outcomes. Clients graduate from counseling feeling free from mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional pain, with renewed energy and a new outlook on themselves and life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During sessions, clients will: (1) Gain a deeper AWARENESS of their underlying challenge(s) (2) LEARN the impact of their coping styles and defense mechanisms (3) CONFRONT past experiences or circumstances without shame, guilt, anger, or resentment (4) CHALLENGE previous views that have hindered their growth (5) MANIFEST internal transformation, and (6) NAVIGATE social environments with peace and flexibility
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The key to mental freedom is seeing beyond your current circumstances to create a life where you can thrive and live in harmony with yourself. I take pride in the many success stories of clients who have reclaimed their lives by removing the barriers of trauma to uncover the power of creative healing. A simple investment in yourself guarantees a generous return. Allow me to match your effort.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Some embark on the counseling journey to get through moments. I implement practical and holistic approaches to help clients heal from a lifetime of the deteriorating effects of intergenerational trauma (i.e., cycles of abuse), including personality, dissociative, and somatic disorders, combining innovative and evidence-based strategies.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
Integrative therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that combines ideas and techniques based on the client's unique needs. This approach is the foundation of my work. Clients have the best outcomes when their counselor brings a toolkit to help resolve challenges instead of a tool.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic Therapy strives to help people understand the influences of their past and become aware of difficult, unprocessed feelings and behaviors.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a style of therapy that helps clients relieve symptoms by replacing rigid ways of living and thinking with cognitive flexibility which is the ability to self-reflect, look at circumstances differently, and acknowledge feelings in the moment without avoidance. Once this is accomplished, clients fully accept themselves and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, leading to freedom and peace.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy allows clients to see themselves apart from their problems. This approach uses many strategies to challenge learned behaviors and destructive ways of thinking and being, which leads to empowerment. Clients walk away with the ability to control their own stories. Narrative Therapy also incorporates the practice of externalizing or expressing their feelings effectively, as internalizing leads to unhealthy symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems therapy is a transformative approach to counseling that acknowledges human beings as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. Understanding the inner parts helps clients self-regulate and heal.
