Lauren Steury
Pre-Licensed Therapist
As a relational therapist, I believe healing happens through connection. The patterns we carry from past experiences shape our present, often in ways we may not intend. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore these patterns, deepen their relationships, and gain meaningful insight. My approach is warm, direct, and engaged; I actively participate in the therapeutic process, helping clients uncover the dynamics that may keep them stuck.
I am particularly interested in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and have experience with ENM and polyamorous relationships. As a sex-positive therapist, I am informed and supportive of people in BDSM and sex work communities. Additionally, I have three years of providing harm-reduction services to the Los Angeles community and bring a shame-free approach to substance use. I see therapy as a pathway towards personal and collective liberation.
