Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Pasadena, CA
Lauren Walden, LCSW
Welcome! I practice trauma-informed and socially-conscious psychodynamic psychotherapy. I see individuals, adolescents and couples.
I see folks via telehealth across California and in person in Pasadena, California. I serve neighboring areas of Highland Park, Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Highland Park and Greater Los Angeles.
My Approach
Feelings are meant to be shared. When our feelings are felt with another ones' mind and eyes, we can release tension and judgement with ourselves, make meaning of our experiences and then integrate those experiences into a new way of being. Good therapy should feel like an emotional stretch. A stretch slightly beyond your idea of comfort that, over time, helps you to be more adaptive, attuned to your capacity and softer in your reactions to yourself and others.
I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a depth-oriented psychotherapy focused on deep attunement and curiosity into the unconscious mind.
