Professional statement

Lauren Levy is based in LA and works with adults and couples seeking deeper understanding, healing, and meaningful change in their lives. She specializes in supporting individuals navigating the lasting impact of complex/challenging relationships with parents, as well as those experiencing ADHD, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of Lauren’s clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand and are looking for a space to make sense of their experiences and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Lauren’s approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all model, and instead draws from a range of evidence-based practices to support each person’s unique needs and goals. Her work often integrates EMDR for processing trauma, parts work for addressing childhood wounds, mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety and depression, and practical strategies for managing ADHD. In couples work, she incorporates Gottman-informed techniques to help partners improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen connection. Across all areas, Lauren prioritizes creating a space that is culturally responsive, affirming, and grounded in genuine human connection.

Lauren’s background brings a thoughtful and multidimensional perspective to her clinical work. Prior to becoming a therapist, she worked in advertising and education—experiences that continue to inform her ability to connect with clients navigating high-pressure environments, identity development, and life transitions. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and has completed additional graduate coursework at the University of Southern California. Her clinical training includes work in settings such as Kaiser Permanente, along with ongoing supervision, advanced training in trauma-focused modalities, and certification in EMDR.

Lauren offers virtual therapy sessions for clients located throughout California. She provides a supportive, down-to-earth environment where clients can explore difficult experiences, better understand themselves, and work toward lasting change.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—whether that’s in relationships, self-doubt, or how they respond to stress, change, or disappointment. These patterns often made sense at one point, but may no longer be serving you in the way you need. In our work together, I’ll help you gently make sense of what’s underneath them so you can move toward a life that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and grounded.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I tailor our work to you—your experiences, your goals, and what feels most helpful. One of the most important parts of this process is that you feel comfortable, supported, and able to show up as yourself. The relationship we build matters, and I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and care every step of the way.

My hope is to create a space that feels both supportive and real—where you can explore difficult experiences with honesty, feel understood, and even find moments of lightness along the way. I bring empathy, validation, and a bit of humor into our work, and I’ll be alongside you as you navigate what’s been holding you back and move toward a greater sense of clarity, self-understanding, and empowerment.
