Lauren Spinelli

First of all, kudos to you for having the strength and courage to ask for help. It's not always an easy thing to do and I consider it a privilege to support you in whatever it is you're going through. Challenges will inevitably arise throughout life. Some can be handled effectively on our own and some require additional support. That's where I come in! I am an experienced California Licensed Psychotherapist (LCSW 82862) with a master's degree in clinical mental health from Boston College. I have a passion for helping adults, teens and children overcome anxiety, make successful life transitions, heal from past trauma, enhance emotional well-being, and improve their relationships. For the past 10 years, I’ve devoted my life and career as a therapist to listening to people share their fears and frustrations, while equipping them with the tools to live more fulfilling and joyful lives. That's over 15,000 hours of therapy and coaching that has allowed me to develop the necessary skill-set to help my clients initiate and uphold positive, meaningful changes to get exactly what they want in life. We all carry some baggage, and I'm here to help you unpack it. Experience the relief you've been looking for as we partner together to create a custom plan specific to your personal needs. Because you are unique, I tailor my methods specifically for you, integrating a variety of evidence-based therapy approaches and action-based solutions to get you thriving in a shorter amount of time. If you live in California, let's set up a phone or video call. And if you're in San Diego, let's take advantage of our beautiful surroundings and go for a therapeutic WALK-AND-TALK session by the beach or bay. Walk-and-talk therapy is a unique form of therapy that infuses the benefits of being outdoors, light exercise, and psychotherapy. I also notice that walking side-by-side can make it easier to speak about challenging issues, as opposed to the traditional, seated, face-to-face interaction. Call or email me toady for your complimentary consultation. I can't wait to meet you!
