My name is Lorraine Abarca, my pronouns are she/her. I have experience working in the areas of violence prevention, substance misuse, loss, trauma, harm reduction strategies, and healing. My therapeutic approach is rooted in honoring your lived experience, and innate wisdom that comes from your lived experiences. At the core, my approach is working relationally with clients in a gentle, holistic approach to self-compassion, self-regulation, self-acceptance, and healing. 

My commitment is to explore and understand your emotions, offer clarity and insight into challenges. I am collaborative,  culturally attuned, and trauma-informed. I value a connection to the body, mind, and spirit, with an awareness of and respect for the wholeness of others. This includes making space to work on decolonizing my lived experiences and internalized perspectives. I provide person-centered and gender-affirming care for all ages.
