New Leaf Psychotherapy

Welcome to New Leaf Psychotherapy! I'm Lauren, and I'm glad you're here! At the forefront of my work is a deep respect for your journey. I provide a warm and collaborative space for clients of all ages to navigate emotional distress. My practice weaves together the healing power of nature-based therapy with the core principles of person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic approaches. Informed by mindfulness-based interventions, I guide individuals in reconnecting with their own innate capacity for healing. I work with couples and families to navigate challenges and build deeper connections, whether through telehealth sessions or in outdoor settings. My practice is designed to help you attune to your individual and shared feelings, develop powerful resourcing skills, and improve communication and bonding. By integrating various therapeutic approaches, I aim to empower your family to connect with your inherent strengths and values to find a path forward. Currently providing outdoor sessions in the East Bay and San Francisco. Inquire for more information.
