About Louisa
Therapy in California
Who knew when you started googling to find a therapist you would find so many options but not quite the right fit? How do you find someone who truly meets your needs and understands what YOU are all about? How do you find someone who has the professional experience, lived experience, and depth of vision to really understand what YOU are about and what matters to you?
My name is Louisa LeMauviel and I became a therapist because I deeply love helping people get freer, more embodied, more genuinely themselves, and more fulfilled in their lives and relationships. I love seeing the ways that as people heal, their wellness impacts those around them, and the benefits radiate out in wide waves.
I have gained a wealth of professional experience, and I have also been schooled, seasoned, and deepened by my own profound losses, expanded states of consciousness, parenting, and creating. From highschool I knew I wanted to be an art therapist, and when I found approaches and ways of being with clients that truly worked for me, I was committed and eager to share them with others.
I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with a focus in Expressive Arts Therapy, and a certification in Psychedelic Assisted Therapies and Research from California Institute of Integral Studies. I have bachelors degree from Oberlin College. I have specialized training and experience in working with the intersection of spirituality and psychology, parenting, early adulthood, LGBTQIA-2S community, chronic pain, and terminal/long-term illness. My specialties include grief and traumatic loss, psychedelic integration, and Adulthood ADHD. My approaches are an integral and tailored blend of somatic awareness, expressive arts, and transpersonal frameworks, and I am a trained EMDR provider and Soulcollage(R) facilitator. I also draw from influences of Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Relational Cultural Therapy, Jungian lenses, ecotherapy, EFT couples work, Kriya Yoga, Vajrayana practices, and Gottman research.
I know it can feel like a big step to call a counselor, but I’ll make it easy. We’ll spend 15-minutes on the phone and I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to get you some other good options.
