Dr. Lorry Leigh Belhumeur is a licensed psychologist, serving as Chief Executive Officer at Western Youth Services (WYS) for over 20 years. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. degrees from UCLA.
As a seasoned community leader and fierce advocate for children, youth and families, Dr. Lorry has led the charge that reexamines mental health in the context of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and offers solutions that treat the predictable negative impact of the toxic stress response related to ACEs and that also look upstream to prevent them from happening in the first place.
She believes that the foundation of positive mental health in children and youth is having a caring dependable adult who believes in them as well as uncovering their strengths and using these strengths to be the best version of themselves. When people are served from this perspective they become more confident and resilient. They make progress and create and lead successful lives.
