About Loren Felsher, LGPC
I am your Child, Family, and Adult Therapist…
As a devoted Child, Family, and Adult Therapist, I have dedicated my life to uplifting those facing mental health and emotional challenges. My passion lies in empowering children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD and anxiety, helping them navigate difficulties that impact their academic success, social connections, and family dynamics. I also provide compassionate support to families and individuals grappling with depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship struggles. Through personalized care and unwavering commitment, I foster resilience, hope, and meaningful change, guiding my clients toward stronger, healthier lives.
My approach…
I offer a collaborative and client-centered space tailored to your needs. I am passionate about empowering clients to develop healthier thought patterns, effective coping strategies, and a deeper sense of inner peace and self-compassion.
I value working with people from all backgrounds and experiences, creating a respectful and inclusive space where everyone feels supported and understood.
With over 20 years in mental health and a decade in public education, I understand the needs of neurodiverse learners and their families. As a licensed school counselor and 504 plan coordinator, I bring insight into how schools and systems affect children every day. I also integrate mindfulness, somatic practices, and expressive arts as a certified yoga instructor, creating a holistic, trauma-informed approach. Sessions are offered in person, online, or even outdoors in nature.
My education and experience includes…
a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Education and Counseling from the University of Maryland.
I began my career supporting adults with severe and persistent mental illness in vocational rehabilitation before moving into education as a teacher, substitute counselor, and academic advisor for college students.
For the past decade, I have worked as an elementary school counselor, giving me firsthand insight into the needs of children, families, and school systems.
I am a certified yoga instructor with training in mindfulness and somatic practices, which I integrate into therapy to promote balance and healing.
