Loren Galese, LPC, ACS

Hi! I'm Loren, the owner of Woven Self Therapeutic Services, LLC. I didn’t originally set out to become a therapist. I began my academic path in art education, drawn to creativity, expression and emotions. My first semester of college I took an introductory for psychology class and something clicked. Learning about the brain, behavior, and the why behind how we feel and act felt endlessly fascinating, and it quietly rerouted my path. Anxiety has been part of my own life since childhood, so I understand firsthand how overwhelming it can be to move through the world while your nervous system feels constantly on high alert. That lived experience, combined with my training, shaped a deep desire to help others feel more grounded, understood, and less alone in their internal experiences. Over time, I found my niche working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when clients are met with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their autonomy. You as the client get to set the pace as we move forward in a way that feels safe and manageable, never rushed or forced. My role is to offer guidance, insight, and support while creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. I am out of network with insurance but submit to insurance for my clients to receive reimbursement. I will happily walk you through what that looks like, since insurance can be difficult to navigate.
