Lauren Franklin

Lauren Franklin

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi there! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but more importantly, I’m a human being who knows firsthand what it’s like to sit in the client’s chair. I used to think therapists had it all figured out. Then I went to grad school, survived the chaotic and wonderfully meaningful trial-by-fire that is community mental health for about six years, and realized we’re all just figuring it out together. Or, as Ram Dass so aptly put it, "We're all just walking each other home."

My style is conversational, collaborative, and heavily reliant on honesty and well-placed humor. I have specialized in complex trauma, anxiety, and identity exploration, particularly focusing on sexuality.

Because our human brains are incredibly stubborn and complicated, I don't pretend to have all the answers. Because I believe in practicing what I preach, I continue to participate in my own therapy, am actively pursuing advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, and consult regularly with a seasoned psychologist and psychoanalyst, ensuring that I'm giving my clients the best possible care. I lead with curiosity, warmth, and will be on the lookout for ways to gently challenge you in the ways you invite me to.

I am so glad you're here. Let's work together to help you move towards the truest you.

If you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, know that you don’t have to navigate this alone.
