Lauren Garchow

My clients describe me as:

A warm and down-to-earth therapist. Yes, I have the expertise to help you heal, but I am also a human. There is power in our shared humanity!

Something to know about my approach is:

I focus on the mind-body connection, with a social justice approach. We will look at how individual, family, community, and societal systems each intersect to affect our well-being. A core component of our work will be practicing self-compassion.

Together, we will:

Laugh, cry, and normalize that experiencing varying emotions is part of being a human – it does not make you broken. We will focus on exploring what is happening in your mind and body in hopes that you begin feeling at home in yourself.

I specialize in working with people who:

Those who suffer from physical pain, anxiety, trauma, and depression. People who are curious about exploring their inner world and open to learning new ways to show up for themselves.

I became a therapist because:

I know firsthand how debilitating mental and physical suffering can be. I want to share what I have learned and offer connection to help others heal.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Being in virtual therapy means you can be in a space that feels most comfortable to you. This also means that I can see anyone who lives in CA!

More about me and my practice:

Deciding whether to pursue therapy is hard, and finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be even harder. I am happy that you made it this far, and it is my true desire to help you find what healing methods work best for you.
