About Louisa
Online Therapy in California
You’ve been looking into getting help for too long and not quite finding a fit. How do you find someone who has the professional experience, lived experience, values, and style to really fit what YOU are about?
My name is Louisa LeMauviel and I became a therapist because I love helping people get more free, 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 wide to friends, families, communities, cultures, lands, and generations.
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, both from California Institute of Integral Studies, and I have bachelors degree from Oberlin College in art and psychology. I have specialized training and experience in working with the intersection of spirituality and psychology, grief, adhd in couples, parenting, early adulthood, LGBTQIA-2S community, chronic pain, and terminal/long-term illness, and I am a trained EMDR provider and Soulcollage(R) facilitator. 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. I also draw from elements of Somatic Experiencing, eco-therapy, Relational Cultural Therapy, Jungian depth work, Nonviolent Communication, Emotion Focused Therapy with couples, IFS, Gottman research, and antiracism. My work is strongly informed by Jennifer Welwood’s teachings on psycho-spiritual path.
I have a wealth of professional experience, and I have also been schooled, seasoned, and deepened by my own initiations with grief, marriage, parenting, and art making, spiritual practice, and expanded states of consciousness. From my teen years I set out to become an art therapist. Since then life and study have showed me approaches that I believe to truly work, and I’m now gratefully given to sharing them with others. In work and life am committed to investigating the intersections of my identities and positions within social power structures, and the ways these impact my roles and relationships with others, and I love supporting clients in doing the same.
I know it can feel like a big step to call a therapist, but let’s make it as easeful as possible. We’ll spend 15-minutes on Zoom and I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I am not the right person for you right now, I’ll do my best to get you connected to the next right steps.
