Loren Pilcher, B.A.

Save a brief stint as a resource coordinator and teacher in the public school system, I've worked in the disability field in Indiana and Kentucky as a social worker for the past two decades.  Although I have long been interested in psychology, therapy, and neuroscience, my frustration with the lack of therapy options for kids and adults with disabilities is what drew me to pursuing my graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling at Indiana University Southeast.  I am firm believer that anyone is capable of powerful, meaningful personal change regardless of any intellectual, developmental, or physical disability.  In addition to the disability community, my clinical interests also include trauma, griefwork, the study of loneliness, interpersonal relationships, and the mental health needs of older Americans. 

When I am not trying to get through my ever-growing stack of unread books, you can find me playing music, running, writing, and hanging with my pets.
