Loren Messina, CA AMFT#143147

 I specialize in working with survivors of trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, personality disorders, and co-occurring disorders. I work with adults in both individual and couples sessions. I am a compassionate and supportive therapist who uses an eclectic approach, pulling interventions from various evidence based modalities into my work. I am also trained in brainspotting, which is a therapeutic approach that helps one heal from trauma by calming down the nervous system. I provide a safe space for clients to reflect on their experiences and process their struggles. I teach clients how to integrate self-compassion while making positive changes on the road to self-discovery.
