Practitioner record · Checked 6 Nov 2026
Dr. Lorraine Latchman has been in practice 6 years and is licensed in Colorado. Dr. lists trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues among 16 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Dr.'s own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Dr. works with
Dr. lists 5 specialisms and 11 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Dr. chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Dr.'s own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
You know how to hold it together. From the outside, your life reads as capable, accomplished, maybe even enviable. On the inside, there’s an ache that doesn’t have a name yet. Emptiness on the good days. Anxiety humming under the surface. A sadness that doesn’t match the life you’ve built. You are not broken. You are carrying something that was never fully seen. A lot of what we carry started early: family patterns passed down. An attachment wound that became the blueprint for how we relate to ourselves and everyone else….long after we left the house we grew up in.
I work at the root: intergenerational trauma. Harm done in the name of something sacred. And the daily weight of surviving in a world that feels like it wasn’t built for you. This includes wounds a community carries home, long after the system that caused them. I draw on attachment theory, Community and Trauma Resiliency Model skills and a decolonizing lens. We live in a world that teaches us to wear many masks. We’ve buried an ache beneath what we were required to build. We carry an emptiness that doesn’t add up. A numbness we can’t quite explain. And somewhere underneath it all is a deep desire to be seen. To be known. To return to wholeness. This is the healing conversation I hold space for.

03 · What happens next
Dr. practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Dr.'s own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Dr. at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Dr. is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Dr..
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Dr. actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Dr.'s - Dr. has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Dr.'s name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Dr.. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
