Lauren Lowe Therapy Online EMDR Therapist California

lauren nicole lowe, m.a., lmft

Hi—I’m Lauren. I am a Princeton undergraduate with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from The American School of Professional Psychology. I’ve been working in the mental health field for over a decade, and have extensive experience utilizing EMDR therapy to treat patients who suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, various phobias, trauma and substance abuse.

My approach is practical, strength-based and solution-focused. I help my clients work through interpersonal problems, process emotions, build coping skills and self-awareness to help reduce and eliminate symptoms. Together, we find practical, meaningful, and most importantly, sustainable methods to return to functional, joy-filled lives.

I treat substance abuse and provide follow-up support to help individuals achieve long-term, satisfying sobriety. I facilitate and encourage my clients’ efforts to utilize community resources and maintain sober community ties.

I have experience working as an expert witness for patients involved in legal cases resulting from injury-related trauma (PTSD from car accidents, distress from wrongful terminations and other trauma-related psychological injuries). I have testified as an expert witness at depositions, arbitrations and trials. I also provide formal psychological evaluations for attorneys requiring documentation of their clients’ psychological damages.

I encourage people to begin therapy when they feel they are ready. Rather than merely “co-signing victimhood,” I hold my clients accountable for their progress, and help them maximize their time and resources. I challenge my clients to apply themselves throughout the therapy process so they experience the most benefits and the best results. I encourage individuals to focus on what they can control and teach tools to address difficult relationships and life situations. We learn new behaviors, boundaries, and perspectives to expedite the healing process and start to feel results as soon as possible.

I am optimistic, light-hearted and active. You could say I am a workout freak—daily gym classes, hiking, running or tennis, and nightly neighborhood walks. I love poolside sunbathing and might be known to frequent over-priced nail salons and enjoy people watching after shoe shopping at Neiman’s.

my vision + values

NO JUDGMENTS

I won’t judge you or hold you to unrealistic standards. I work with you wherever you are. I am easy to talk to and I don’t believe in pushing my beliefs onto others. We should all feel free to be who we are. I want you to feel comfortable to share whatever it is you are facing, thinking or feeling. You shouldn’t have to suppress yourself in the space where you are supposed to unburden all that!

I don’t want you to edit your authenticity. I’m here to listen, without fear of judgment. I know what it is like to hold back, or not speak your full truth because of the fear of judgment you might face from your therapist. That isn’t me. I’m not here to judge, I’m here to help you.

We are always going to feel things, and we can’t erase all negative thoughts. A bad moment doesn’t need to turn into a bad day—or week— in every other facet of your life. You can learn to experience these situations in new ways.


Our work together will get emotional at times, but as we progress the momentum from our sessions will enable you to confidently take the necessary steps to meet your goals.


I prefer to work with patients who want to focus on solutions, not blame others and ignore personal accountability. If you want to sit on a couch and cry, vent, or complain endlessly, we are probably not the right fit. Let’s focus on moving forward!

FEELINGS ASIDE

AUTHENTICITY

This isn’t about perfectionism. Just being you is enough. But you want to be the happiest version of yourself, right? Get in touch with your inner world—your needs, wants, wishes, desires and emotions. I can help free you from destructive patterns so you can transform your life for the better.

Making sense of the world we live in may never be attainable but bringing structure and order to our own lives helps us accept our limitations and embrace our strengths, which allows us to find not only our authentic selves but a happiness and wholeness we never knew existed.

Care free doesn’t mean you’re free of cares. It means you care to feel free. Freedom doesn’t mean “Me time.” It’s a reverence with something transcendent that only you can define, no matter how difficult to describe. I believe we should all discover, embrace and fine-tune radical, healthy self-expression. I encourage you to learn what you want, and then I help you to achieve it. Are you ready to create your best life?

CAREFREE

THERE IS NO GREATER JOY THAN SEEING A CLIENT FACE THEIR FEARS, ANXIETIES OR ONE OF LIFE’S MANY OBSTACLES HEAD-ON; AND DEVELOP A PLAN THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO SO IN ALL THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS – BUT PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, WELCOME THE CHALLENGES WITH A SMILE.

I don’t dwell on the past, I focus on efficient solutions and provide structure. My goal is to get you out of therapy and on towards living your best life.

Lauren is simply the best. I initially got in touch with lesser therapists, and only got generic responses that did not apply to my situation. When I got in touch with Lauren, it was a breath of fresh air. Lauren seemed very competent and professional, but was also a great personality fit. She actually listened to me, treated my anxiety, and went the extra mile to actively involve herself. The EMDR really worked and improved my quality of life. Extremely grateful. I consider Lauren not only to be my therapist, but a friend.

This review is a bit overdue but Lauren was the best therapist for me especially at the time. She creates a space to comfortably be yourself and be vulnerable. Her therapy perfectly addressed issues with which I was struggling and trauma which was resurfacing as a result. Furthermore, she helped bring to light areas of my past that could have built a foundation for the patterns which were appearing in my life, providing me a toolkit for self awareness which I had not previously had which I can say without question has helped me avoid repeating falling into toxic relationships. Even with Covid-19 I can't stress how much my life has improved (or how much I know it will) because of the work I accomplished with Lauren.

My wife and I were two people who loved each other deeply, but could not have been more different from each other. As I reflect on our lives, I must say I owe a large part of the happiness we're experiencing to encountering Lauren Lowe. I met her when my wife dragged me in to see her. I only went along to state my case and thought I would be told that I was completely wrong and the cause of our martial unhappiness. Instead I found an insightful masterful relationship counselor who was sensitive to my earnest, though awkward and miss communicated efforts to strengthen our family. Lauren Lowes calming voice taught us to use our differences to enhance our life experiences. Without Lauren I doubt my marriage would have held together. With her help we were able to build a truly loving, trusting, intimate and fun relationship. As a result, I believe our son grew up in a loving family and has also been able to meet and married a sane and loving partner. Sometimes you can't do it alone.

I came in for PTSD, anxiety, and depression when driving. What'sbeen helpful is the EMDR and just talking to Lauren every session about it. My anxiety, depression, and social life have gotten betterthrough talking, and then putting myself out there slowly. My PTSD isfully gone and I enjoy driving, have no worries, and I even feel comfortable driving in the rain now. I gave Lauren a ten star rating!
RYAN, 18
Having been married for over 20 years, I was doubting whether I wanted to stay in the marriage. I was confused and all of the issues seemed "grey" to me. Lauren gave me direction and the issues became more "black and white." Clarity helped me communicate better with my wife and we worked through our issues. Our children have been saved the devastation of divorce and I am enthusiastic and energized in my relationship wth my wife. Lauren brought a very positive viewpoint to our discussions. I credit Lauren for "saving" our marriage. I will be forever grateful.

Lauren has been so much help to our daughter and family. Our teenager daughter has struggled for years with her (lack of) relationship with her biological father. When it continued to get worse, our daughter asked to see a therapist and thankfully we found Lauren. Lauren not only has a talent on how to have a teenager open up and share their feelings, but also help them to not hold their negative feelings moving forward. After working with Lauren the past six months, our daughter said to us "Lauren is the best.. she helped me move on from worrying about my father that does not care about me, to appreciate the mom and dad here at home that I love and that loves me!" This is the happiest we have seen our daughter in years!

Lauren has helped me to overcome the trauma of being diagnosed with a serious illness through EMDR. I experienced years of anxiety after treatment for my illness. Lauren suggested EMDR, which, to be honest, I was skeptical could help me overcome a very emotional situation. After eight sessions of EMDR, I was finally feeling like my pre-illness self! I continue to see Lauren for various crises that arise during everyday life. I think that because I have gotten so much less anxious as a result of her therapy, that I like to keep in touch with her so that I never fall into that dark hole again. I STRONGLY recommend making an appointment to address any issues that are interrupting happiness in life.
CHRISTINE, 65
Dear Lauren, Thank you so much for helping my daughter overcome her anxiety so that she could feel the great joy from accomplishing her goals. Prior to coming to you, she was so afraid of new experiences. She was terrified to go to school. Even being required to try one bite of a new food would make her cry and vomit. Not so now! She performed beautifully on stage for her school play. She did an awesome job in her classroom participating. She eagerly gets on the school bus each morning for school. She is trying all kinds of new foods and even ate halibut and salad for dinner. She is so proud of herself, and I am so happy for her. She will continue to see you on a regular basis to reinforce her new behaviors. But I am already so very proud or her and happy with her new strength and confidence. Thank you so much! You have improved all of our lives.
Respectfully, Rachel
I can not say enough wonderful things about Lauren Lowe. Lauren has walked my 9 year old daughter through one of the toughest life-changes a child can go through, a divorce into mixed families. Dealing with anger, fear, worry and hurt, my 9 year old quickly learned life saving coping skills that she will now be able to carry on into her adulthood. Both my daughter and I immediately felt comfortable with Lauren as soon as we met. My child can now communicate more appropriately than most adults. It was bitter-sweet when our sessions were over. Do not hesitate to get help from Lauren, she will inspire you to open your eyes and change your life!
JACKIE
Therapy with Lauren has been a wonderfully positive and life changing experience. For the first time, after many years of talk therapy, I can say that I actually like going to therapy, look forward to sessions, and that I feel so much better after each session. Lauren is exceptionally skilled as a therapist, you will have a genuine ally and coach in your corner, and someone who will help you through difficult, scary, and otherwise painful times, memories, and experience without judgement. Lauren has helped me heal, flourish, and truly be able to enjoy life. I simply cannot say enough good things about working with Lauren, and am incredibly grateful for being able to work with Lauren!
