Lorin Tierney, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lorin!

"Feeling stuck in unhealthy relationships that no longer serve you?" You're in the right place. I work with survivors of abuse, life transitions, and those navigating codependency through a trauma-informed, supportive approach. My goal is to help you rebuild self-trust, set healthier boundaries, and create a life that feels more balanced.

My focus

Carrying the weight of past abuse, codependent behaviors, or ongoing stress? I proactively work with adults to understand their experiences and create actionable steps toward meaningful change. Together, we'll develop practical strategies that help you engage in relationships and daily life with greater clarity, motivation, and strength.

My approach

My approach blends mindfulness, DBT skills, and solution-focused strategies to help you understand your patterns and make meaningful, lasting changes. I work in a compassionate, collaborative, and empowering way, adjusting our sessions to meet your needs. Together, we'll build tools that help you feel more secure and confident setting boundaries.

My communication style

I'm "down to earth" and approachable, creating a safe space where you can talk about difficult personal issues that are hard to share. My goal is to be a calm, compassionate presence, helping you feel heard, supported, and more confident and seen as we work through life's challenges together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been a natural listener since my teens, supporting friends without judgment. Working at a group home for abused boys inspired me to become a licensed therapist, where I could make a difference. Today, I love helping my clients as they uncover their strengths, overcome challenges, and move forward with a strengthened voice and renewed hope.

My goals for you

Therapy works best when we work as a collaborative team, focused on the goals that matter most to you. We identify clear, meaningful steps that align with your priorities. I provide the guidance and encouragement, so you can make progress at a comfortable pace. As you gain a new perspective, we'll simply adjust your plan to reflect your needs.

Our first session

Think of your first session as a chance to meet and share your story. I'll ask questions to understand your experiences and current needs. Feeling anxious is completely normal, and my goal is to help you feel supported as we begin your healing journey. This session gives us the foundations to create a path that aligns with you and your goals.
