Hi! My name is Lauren Lorge, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I use a client-centered, non-judgmental, genuine approach that focuses on addressing the issues that get in the way of clients living the life they want to live. I have worked with a range of ages including older teens, young adults, middle aged and up to 65 years old. Anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma have been typical things clients have come to therapy for. I use a client-centered approach and like to focus on the goals the client has come in to work on.

I specialize in helping people who are socially attuned to others' needs to the point that they may lose themselves. Working together, my clients build confidence & a stronger sense of self that helps them negotiate conflicting roles and identities. This can involve processing sadness and frustration, which unlocks new sources of connection, happiness, & focus in their personal and work lives. In my time at Caltech, I worked with high achievers navigating complex expectations. As we assess values & sources of joy, my clients develop a stronger understanding of what fulfills them, & where and with whom they want to devote their time.

Welcome (Bienvendo(a)(x)...I am a culturally sensitive inclusive Marriage & Family Therapist. I am from an immigrant Spanish-speaking family who encouraged humility, a strong work ethic, and resilience! I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, especially as an Ally of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities! My focus is to help others as they navigate stress, relationship issues, coming out struggles, acculturation/racial trauma, post-traumatic stress, and depression/anxiety.

Learn how to express yourself so that you are heard and understood by the ones you love. I work with families, couples, and individuals to break generational patterns that no longer serve them. We all deserve to be connected with ourselves, our children, and our loved ones and I hold a special place in my heart for co-parents who want to put their children first but can't figure out how to collaborate effectively. In collaboration, we create a safe space to connect and relate from intentional intimacy.

Stressful life events, endless thoughts in the night, and emotions that seem out of control can be overwhelming and isolating. Exhaustion and mental health stigma can further push quality of life and sense of fulfillment out of reach. As an Asian American psychologist in California, I am passionate about supporting my community through thoughtful counseling that cultivates deeper understanding and healing. I have presented research and workshops on the intersection of mental health and diversity, and have over 8 years of psychotherapy experience focused on building awareness, learning coping skills, and improving quality of life.

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell. It's an honor to journey with you towards a better life. As your therapist, I guide you towards clarity and healing; towards your own truth. Reconnect to your authentic self! If you're a parent in need of support, a person on the autism spectrum, struggling with a relationship, an addiction, or perhaps just curious about personal growth, I'm here to support you!

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common concerns around- if these kinds of things are affecting your ability to meet your personal goals or simply enjoy your life, you're not alone. I specialize in "treatments that work"- scientifically supported therapies for anxiety, depression, and related difficulties, including worry, panic, sleep problems, and difficulties with concentration and decision-making. In therapy, my clients work to develop or increase coping skills they can use long after treatment ends.

Hello. My name is Iihae (pronounced E-heh). I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and I have been in this field for over 28 years. I have worked with clients of all ages and from all walks of life. My special interest is in helping clients to resolve the impact of traumatic experiences. I am a Level II therapist in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and certified in Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), a somatic therapy. I also have extensive training background in Brainspotting and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy).

Do you find yourself struggling to get through your day, wondering if things are ever going to get better? Wondering how did I get here, what happened that I am no longer in control of my life? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma that seems to be affecting your life in ways you never imagined. I am here to help you discover and overcome "the thing" that got you where you are today.

I'm passionate about helping adults and teens heal emotional wounds, nurture healthy relationships, and enhance self-esteem. If you tend to overthink, feel unmotivated, or simply struggle to enjoy the present moment, I'm here to help. I provide a space where you can express and sort through unhelpful thoughts and emotions that you may not feel able to process elsewhere. I am dedicated to helping you rediscover confidence and peace within yourself and in your relationships.

I provide individual, group, and family sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy; however, also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness to further promote well being and help individuals reach their personal treatment goals.

You are someone who seeks to do your best in the pursuit of all that is important to you. Even so, stressors, anxiety, depression, navigating challenging life transitions, or even burnout is no stranger to you. Perhaps wounds or traumas are (re)surfacing for processing. Today marks a step towards self care, oxygen mask on yourself first, then others. I will support you through the journey of your wellbeing. Allow me to hold your process and difficulties with compassion, support your balancing of life's chaos, reinstate healthy boundaries, embrace positive transformations, and reignite your aliveness.
