Lorraine Thomas, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lorraine!

Do past traumas trigger you? Are you suffering from chronic pain, fibromyalgia, diabetes, or obesity? Are these health issues making you feel chronically stressed or depressed? Do you struggle with focus and feel overwhelmed? Therapy can help. When trauma occurs, our minds create defenses like avoidance to protect us from danger.

My focus

I work with adults who suffer from chronic diseases, trauma, and adult ADHD.

My approach

I specialize in mind-body awareness and the ADHD/hormones/brain chemistry connection. I work with you to process trauma using EMDR and reduce physical symptoms. My hope is to hold space for you—being present without judgment. I honor your journey with openness and acceptance because I believe you have the ability to make positive change.

My communication style

I'm passionate about helping people live healthy lives. I hold space for you—being present without judgment. I honor your journey with openness and acceptance because I believe you have the ability to make positive change in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy was circuitous, having worked in the corporate field before graduate school. I have always wanted to be a psychologist, falling in love with the field as an undergraduate.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you from the outset to explore your goals and bring them to life using behavioral measures. In every session, we touch on these goals to ensure your needs and expectations are being met, and we course-correct if you're not getting what you need.

Our first session

I believe in building therapeutic rapport from the first touchpoint, whether that's an email, phone call, or first session. While there are administrative concerns to address, I focus most of the session on you—listening, validating, supporting, and being curious and empathic, as you're often in crisis mode when first seeking therapy.
