Loretta Somerville

Loretta began her ministry in schools of the Sacred Heart as teacher, administrator, and  Boarding School Director in Detroit and Buffalo. Already  having her MA and Psy. Specialist degrees, in the late 80’s she completed  her  PH.D in Clinical and Educational Psychology.  Her ministries then turned toward private practice with a variety of age groups. She worked in particular with  a  focus on  children  and families  experiencing  violence, abuse and other forms of trauma.

Subsequently she worked with the retired RSCJ before once again administering a Child Advocacy Center and County multidisciplinary team. Most recently she has worked as an advocate for patients and families at a local hospital.
