About Loretta
Loretta Carridan Luchau MA, LPC, NCC, LMT has been studying and training, practicing and teaching body-centered therapies in the US & abroad since the early 1980s. Her somatically grounded, trauma-informed approach is relationally oriented, person-centered, psychodynamic, behaviorist - deeply informed by being a mother, lover, sister, and friend. Loretta has experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, psychosis, and personality disorders and employs mindfulness skills, psycho-education, and homework/integration all as important facets of therapy.
Loretta says: "To witness lives transform and change course is incredibly rewarding. I feel honored to hold space as brave souls commit to transformative work in ordinary (as well as non-ordinary) states, as they heal into their essence, autonomously creating a more fulfilling and satisfying life."
A Nationally Certified Counselor, her passions include clinical work in community mental health, crisis work and private practice (eclectic bodywork modalities, body-centered psychotherapies; medicine-assisted psychotherapy), as well as teaching mindfulness practices and yoga. Loretta is committed to the practice of deep listening; and, is enamored with: rain; the night sky; first light; gardening; ocean; owls; her soul-mate; being a mother; time with sisters & girlfriends; being creative; and contemplative practices.
