Lon Prater

Hi there, I'm Lon!

I bring diverse life experience—from the Navy to teaching to publishing fiction—and a deep curiosity about how brains work through Buddhism, TTRPGs, and neurodivergence. I'm excited to share what I've learned to help you navigate life's challenges.

My focus

I work with people haunted by the past, struggling with today, and questioning the future. I support those dealing with trauma, grief, and addiction recovery, as well as people marginalized by bigotry around culture, beliefs, gender identity, kink, or history. I welcome those open to Buddhist insights.

My approach

First, we identify the problem underneath the problem and grab quick relief where we can. Then we process stuck spots that kick you into unhelpful autopilot. We build emotional literacy, cognitive clarity, and self-management skills through mindfulness, values-based decision making, reframing, resilience, and self-care—all tailored to your needs.
