Loreen Pearson, LAC
Specializations:
- Trauma
- Attachment Wounds
- Grief and Loss
- Relationship Patterns
- Boundaries
- Self Worth
Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside while carrying trauma responses underneath, such as overthinking, people-pleasing, shutdown, or difficulty trusting themselves. I offer warm, structured therapy that is paced, practical, and collaborative. My work is especially focused on trauma, attachment wounds, grief and loss, relationship patterns, boundaries, and self-worth.
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and additional training in EMDR, Complex PTSD, and grief and loss. I work from an attachment-based, trauma-informed, and systemic lens, helping clients understand the patterns that keep them stuck and develop steadier, more compassionate ways of relating to themselves and others. If you are reflective, curious about your patterns, and ready for meaningful growth, we may be a good fit. Clients often describe my style as deeply validating while also providing timely, compassionate challenge. Therapy with me is not only a place to process, but a place to build understanding, skills, and lasting change.
