Expanding Access to Mental Health Support
Welcome! I'm Loran Wallace, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified EMDR Trauma Therapist based in Scottsdale, Arizona. While I specialize in individual therapy, I am also passionate about bringing mental health education to a wider audience through workshops and psychoeducational groups.
I offer in-person workshops across Arizona, delivering accessible, engaging, and research-backed education to individuals, organizations, and treatment facilities. My goal is to help people build self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and gain the tools they need for lasting emotional well-being.
My Approach to Mental Health Workshops
Much like my one-on-one therapy sessions, my workshops are interactive, practical, and designed to create real change. I combine evidence-based education with self-reflection exercises and actionable strategies to ensure participants leave with tools they can immediately apply to their lives.
I believe in the power of nature and outdoor activities, and I try to incorporate these elements into my mental health workshops whenever possible. Whether it's rock climbing, slacklining, or hiking for mental health, I find these activities provide therapeutic benefits, offering participants a chance to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. If you're interested in outdoor therapy or an outdoor component for your workshop, I am always happy to incorporate it, as nature has a powerful impact on mental health and healing.
My teaching style is relatable and down-to-earth, creating an open and engaging environment where everyone can connect with the material. I specialize in delivering mental health education in a way that is practical, engaging, and easy to understand, ensuring that participants walk away with real-life strategies for emotional well-being. I do my best to break content down in a way that is digestible and actionable, using storytelling and humor to keep the environment fun and interactive.
Each workshop is customized to the audience's needs, ensuring that whether you're a professional, student, or someone navigating personal mental health challenges, you receive relevant, practical knowledge that can support your journey.

Why Mental health Education Matters
While therapy is a powerful tool for healing, education is key to long-term mental health success. Many people don't have access to therapy or aren't sure where to start - workshops and group learning provide an opportunity to gain foundational knowledge, learn coping skills, and start making meaningful changes.
Through workshops, I hope to bridge the gap between therapy and accessible mental health education - making vital knowledge available to individuals and communities who need it.
