Welcome to Clarity & Compassion Counseling & Coaching! I am so glad you decided to take the step of looking for a therapist. My name is Lauren Ludlow and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW #95632) providing therapy in California and life coaching across the US. Maybe you have found that the pattern, beliefs, and practices that got you to where you are today are no longer serving you. In fact, you find that those patterns are even contributing to anxiety, depression, or burnout. It is time for you to go beyond surviving to thriving! Let me support you in building the patterns, beliefs, and practices to start thriving now. I provide a safe, collaborative, and encouraging space for you to get clarity on what matters to you the most, uproot limiting beliefs, and discover how you can live in a way that aligns with thriving. My approach is holistic. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, self-compassion, somatic and mindfulness practices. I also believe it is essential to understand the ways that the the social world, trauma, or barriers like racism, sexism, heteronormativity, gender-identity based discrimination impact you and how we can develop your resilience in light of that. My practice is completely virtual and I see all my clients via a secure online portal. My fee is $140 per session. As my client, you will also get access to meditation sessions, visualization sessions, journaling, classes and other online events that I host for clients as well as access to custom worksheets and guides and regular emails with encouragement and exercises to support you on your journey.
