Practiced behaviors often evolve into generational patterns. Unfortunately, cycles of trauma that are normalized within families can begin to feel inescapable. Like an invisible illness, we sense something is wrong—we feel it in our bodies, see it in our behaviors—yet we struggle to name it, trace its origins, or know how to heal. In these patterns, we may even learn to equate abuse with love, clinging to those who hurt us because it's what we've known. Growing up in unhealthy environments alters how we see the world. Over time, we adopt coping strategies, protective habits, and emotional defenses to shield ourselves from re-experiencing deep mental and emotional pain. But these very mechanisms, while once useful, eventually shape how we relate to others—repeating the very harm we hoped to escape. I’m Loryn Chás (Chase), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals break through the barriers of generational trauma and self-doubt. I specialize in supporting clients as they dismantle unhealthy cycles and reclaim their lives through a holistic, empowering approach. My work centers on helping people recognize their innate strength and actualize their greatness—regardless of the setbacks they’ve faced. Through our counseling work together, clients often experience a profound sense of liberation from mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual pain. They leave with renewed energy, deeper self-awareness, and a fresh perspective on their relationships, purpose, and potential.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, we will engage in an open conversation to explore your concerns, clarify your goals, and identify areas for growth and healing. Together, we will start craft a treatment plan tailored to your needs and desired outcomes. We will also review practice policies, go over what to expect in future sessions, and make space for any questions. This session is about creating a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and ready to begin the work of healing and change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
The key to mental freedom is seeing beyond your 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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Some embark on the counseling journey to get through moments. I take a practical, compassionate approach to help clients recover from the deep, lasting effects of intergenerational trauma—the emotional pain and patterns passed down through families across generations. My work often focuses on the intersection of personality, dissociative, and somatic disorders, using a blend of innovative and evidence-based strategies to support lasting change. Together, we untangle the past so clients can reclaim their present—and build the future they deserve.

Virtual & in-personMy 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. 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. Clients walk away with the ability to control their own stories.
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.
