In-Person Therapy in San Diego & Telehealth Across California

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Maybe you’re used to being the one who holds it all together. But lately, you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply not like yourself. Something isn’t working, and you’re ready for a change.

I want to help.

As a licensed psychologist, I’ve spent more than 25 years helping people through difficult seasons of their lives. Therapy is a place to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and find new ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter most.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Together, we can help you move toward greater clarity, self-trust, connection, and a life that feels more like your own.

I welcome people of all body sizes, abilities, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, and neurological differences.

ABOUT DR. LAUREN WOOLLEY

Therapy for Meaningful Change

People come to therapy for many reasons, but my work has particular depth in a few areas. I work with high-achieving professionals who feel overwhelmed despite appearing capable on the outside, women navigating the emotional and psychological changes of midlife and perimenopause, and couples who want to break painful patterns and feel more connected.

Explore the areas below to learn more about how I can help.

    High-Achieving Individuals

    Finding calm and fulfillment beyond success.
    For professionals, students, and driven individuals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, or performance pressure. Together, we’ll explore new ways to relate to your thoughts and emotions so they have less control over your life — without losing your motivation or values.

    Couples

    Reconnecting through understanding.
    Whether you’re rebuilding trust, improving communication, or seeking deeper connection, therapy offers a supportive space to rediscover your relationship with empathy and perspective. We focus on patterns of interaction and emotional safety to strengthen the bond between you and your partner.

    Adults Healing from Childhood Abuse

    Healing the past, reclaiming the present.
    Past trauma can quietly shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. In therapy, you’ll find a compassionate space to process your story, develop new coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and self-acceptance.

    THERAPY FOR TRAUMA

A welcoming space for everyone.

I’m honored to support each person’s unique journey toward greater self-understanding and wellness. I look forward to meeting you and walking beside you in this process.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER
