Lauren Thomas is a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, who owns and practices therapy at Therapy With LT in Los Angeles. Lauren was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, eventually pursuing her Bachelors in Psychology (with a minor in Women & Gender Studies) and Masters in Counseling Psychology within the Cal State System (CSU Fullerton and CSU Northridge, respectively).
Early on in her academic process, Lauren was passionate about focusing on couples, intimacy issues, and bridging the gap between cis women and sexual pleasure. Upon personally experiencing microaggression and systemic barriers for Black and Brown therapists in academia, she pivoted to providing specialized Trauma Informed care for Black and Brown femmes and any folks who identify with an intersectional oppressed experience.
Lauren practices from a stance of collaboration and respect, with the belief that all people have the capacity to grow and transform from a strong and empowering therapeutic relationship. Rooted in a feminist, anti-racist perspective, Lauren approaches client care acknowledging systemic barriers and factors impacting client’s well-being in addition to individual life factors. In her spare time, Lauren volunteers as advisor/mentor for college age women and students developing professional leadership skills and learning how to balance personal well-being with professional ambitions.
