“Loretta Echols has been an incredible therapist and a huge support in my journey. She created such a safe and comfortable space it feels so easy to open up to her and be honest. Through out our sessions, she has helped me recognize and work through things I didn’t even realize were affecting me. Her guidance and patience and insight made it possible for me to better understand myself and start healing in ways I didn’t think were possible before. She really just listens without judgment and offers thoughtful advice that actually helps you grow. I’m really grateful for the impact she’s had on my life and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist. ”

Getting to know Loretta Echols
Hi, sometimes it’s hard to admit when we need help, even if the signs are all around us. I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life's challenges and discover new paths toward healing and growth. For over 10 years my work has been rooted in compassion and understanding, and I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be yourself without judgement.
Over the years, I have helped clients manage stress, heal from trauma, improve relationships, and build confidence in their personal and professional lives. My style is collaborative and supportive, blending practice tools with a caring approach so that progress feels both meaningful and achievable.
What I love most about this work is seeing people realize their own strength and resilience. No matter where you are starting from, change is possible, and I am here to help you find clarity, balance, and hope along the way.

I cannot recommend Loretta Echols highly enough. I have seen her for both individual and couples therapy and her approach is exceptional. She’s incredibly personable and creates a space where everyone feels heard. What set her apart is her ability to provide sound actionable next steps that actually work. If you are looking for a therapist who is a great listener, but also gives you the tools to make progress. She is the one!

Although I’m early in my therapy journey, my experience so far has been very positive. My therapist is professional, empathetic, and attentive. She makes it easy to open up, and I feel supported from the very beginning.

It took years for me to finally make the decision to seek therapy services. I had so many reservations about sharing personal details about my life with a stranger. From the moment I spoke to Lotetta she put my mind at ease. Instead of making me feel like I was pouring my heart out to a cold clinician, sessions with her feel like chatting with my childhood friend. She has great insight and remains attentive and thoughtful through out each session. She allows me to steer the direction of the conversation while still being able to keep me on task which is no small feat. I am not easily impressed, but I have to say that n this instance I was beyond pleasantly surprised. I have been utilizing her services for the last few months and the amount of progress she has helped me make in this short time leaves me excited and hopeful to see what is ahead. That actually sums it up nicely. Having Loretta as my therapist has helped restore hope and gives me something to look forward to each week.
