Laura Vega Granados, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Laura!

I am deeply committed to supporting clients through healing from trauma and adversity, empowering them to heal and rebuild. I bring cultural insight and professional expertise to create a space where connection fosters healing.

My focus

I am most experienced supporting women through historical trauma, helping them let go of people-pleasing and codependency tendencies that no longer serve them. I work with clients navigating intergenerational trauma, relationship patterns, and cultural barriers.

My approach

My approach is humanistic and trauma-focused, prioritizing a supportive, empathetic environment where connection fosters healing. I utilize EMDR to address and heal trauma, reducing its influence on your present life. This integrated approach supports your healing journey holistically and effectively.

My communication style

Validation is a cornerstone of my practice. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where you feel heard and accepted. Where there is connection, there is healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

Coming from a family with intergenerational trauma, I have a profound understanding of unique challenges faced by underserved communities, such as system inequalities, limited access to resources, and cultural barriers. This insight motivates me to address these issues with sensitivity.

My goals for you

From the beginning, we discuss your reason for seeking treatment. My aim is to collaborate with you in clearly identifying your goals in our work together. It is important that you feel our time together is both supportive and productive.

Our first session

Our first session builds rapport and establishes trust. I ask open-ended questions to encourage you to share your thoughts and feelings, gaining insight into your concerns. Together, we discuss your goals for therapy and any immediate concerns. I outline confidentiality and boundaries, reinforcing security and trust.
