Feeling stuck and unsure where to turn next? Wondering how to balance life's demands with self-care? Seeking strategies to navigate through challenges? I’m here to help you navigate through the issues of anxiety, depression, addictions, cultural clashes, complicated relationships, or major life transitions. My approach is primarily strength-based and I have 16+ years of clinical experience utilizing evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and EMDR. Also, I am a tenured professor of psychology and director of clinical training.

Do you find patterns repeating in your life? Different faces but same feelings, same dynamics emerging? Maybe you leave a work situation where you aren't feeling heard, only to see the same thing happening in your friendships? Ready to transform the beliefs keeping you stuck in repeating cycles, rather than just changing the face or the circumstance? Break the chains in the chain reactions you've been experiencing and liberate your life. Return to the dignity of choice in your life by changing the beliefs that inform the way you make choices.

Hello, my name is Laura Lynn Reed, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University. I bring to therapy unconditional positive regard, and an emphasis on mindful awareness with an overall integrative approach. I have an extensive background working with mood disorders, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and substance use/addiction.

Maybe you are coping with a stressful pregnancy? Or grappling with the loss of one? Are you postpartum, feeling unsure, worried, irritable, sad, unable to sleep even when the baby sleeps? Or perhaps, you are further along the parenting continuum, supporting your child through the various developmental stages - toddlerhood, adolescence and beyond. Is that meltdown normal? How do I help my child with difficult friendships? Is my teen's behavior typical? How do I tackle their constant internet use? Or maybe you simply want to empower yourself or your child with healthy emotional tools now to prevent potential issues later.

Are you seeking Healing, Personal Growth & Empowerment? Are you a teen or young adult (age 18-35). This period in your life has the potential to be filled with the best memories of youth and freedom but are often weighed down by anxiety and feelings of sadness. Have you experienced difficulties in being a student, an early career professional, a new parent/spouse or an artist (actor, musician or creative soul)? Now is the time to move past your past, embrace your present and design your future. Learn how to develop emotional safety, remove creative blocks, recapture your purpose and focus, and improve your performance skills.

Therapy is a unique opportunity for exploration and understanding of one's own story, and can facilitate healing and transformation during trying times. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to uncover and strengthen their inner wisdom, while teaching them skills needed to maneuver through life's challenges, changes and transitions. I provide a supportive and hope-filled environment that allows for a journey of self-discovery, and helps to foster self-love, self-compassion, and acceptance.

When we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck, managing everyday stressors can feel impossible. Therapy can help. From processing and navigating thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to learning new ways to manage stress, family, and/or interpersonal challenges, therapy can help you find a better balance in everyday life and facilitate personal growth. Therapy looks different for every individual and there are times in which personal growth can appear action-packed with significant changes in habits and ways of thinking, while other times growth is marked by staying still and acknowledging the present moment.

Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

I'm the coauthor of The Whole-Brain Child and other books with Dr. Dan Siegel. I created The Center for Connection (CFC) to create a place where relationships, regulation, & the science of interpersonal neurobiology would guide all we do. We have an amazing team of interdisciplinary professionals- speech/language, neuropsych assessment, occupational therapy, ed therapy & mental health for all ages. Informed by cutting-edge research, and intently focused on how the brain changes, we help people discover more joy and meaning in their lives. We are a neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming practice.

We have all envisioned some version of our ideal selves. Often times past hurts or traumas can affect our lives so that we act out from a place of brokenness rather than healing and compassion. The dissonance our present selves and who we aspire to be can lead to frustration, depression, anxiety, and despair. If you are feeling stagnant and looking for ways to shift out of unhealthy self-defeating patterns, you have come to the right place.

My clients would describe me as genuine, caring, and accepting. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, micro-aggression and several messages from others and even from themselves to "get over it" or "get it together." My clients face challenges in finding fulfillment in their life and connecting with the world around them in a meaningful way. They are desiring a life in which they are able to fully embrace joy in the daily things and in their relationships. They want to be able to feel all their feelings without judgment and stress.

Therapy is for everyone. Some attend due to symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other specific disorders; others seek help when experiencing social, familial, academic, or occupational difficulties; and still others pursue therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their purpose. While the path of every individual is unique, all can benefit from feeling seen, heard, understood, and validated; along with learning healthy coping mechanisms; developing communication and problem-solving skills to successfully address present and future challenges; and accomplishing objectives on the path to achieving self-actualization.
