About Lauren | Trask Talk

Lauren Trask, LCSW #74470

I believe every good therapist has done their own work.

I have been a therapy client at different times throughout my life and have received countless tarot readings. I don’t ask my clients to do anything I haven’t done myself.

My approach towards therapy is one that addresses the whole person – mental, physical, spiritual. All these parts need to be in harmony to achieve true wellness. I incorporate mindfulness and breathing and other somatic techniques. When indicated, I will encourage you to seek medical or spiritual guidance from qualified practitioners.

Therapeutic modalities I use:

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

I base the modality off the needs and style of the individual being served.

Education:

California State University, Long Beach - MSW 2013

California State University, Chico - BA Sociology & German 2009

Trainings:

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

(EMDR) Trained- 2017

WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF HEALING OURSELVES.

I am here as a guide and support, however, how successful you are in therapy depends on how invested you are in your own wellness journey. I frequently offer homework and exercises that you can practice on your own outside of session.
