Dr. Lauren Costine, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, is the Clinical Director and co-founder of Awaken Therapy Center. She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and has been practicing in Los Angeles for over 20 years. Through her experience, Dr. Lauren has learned that digging into the hidden, unconscious parts of oneself and bringing them to the forefront of our awareness has a transformative impact on our ability to manage the intricacies and challenges of life. She believes that through developing this self-awareness, we can access the avenues that lead us towards greater inner peace joy. The everyday challenges of being human often hold too much power over our self image, our relationships, and our ability to pursue our dreams. In tackling issues like trauma, family trouble, toxic societal messages, misogyny, internal and external homophobia, racism, etc., we can orient ourselves towards these paths of progress, and free ourselves from the limitations that have been weighing us down. The kind of therapy that Dr. Lauren practices has resulted in her patients seeing tangible changes in their lives: things like stronger sense-of-self, healthier relationships, sustainable coping mechanisms, more enjoyable parenting, and higher career satisfaction. When self-care becomes a way of life, we find ourselves as more balanced individuals with a firmer grasp on our life's meaning and purpose. As a therapist, Dr. Lauren finds it incredibly fascinating, inspiring, and rewarding to support individuals through this process. PSY22916

My name is Lisa and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working in the psychological field for over twenty years supporting individuals in accessing and living from their authentic selves, where their personal power and full potential lie. I love working with individuals, couples and when parents need to iron out some issues with their adult children.
My focus starts with the belief that we are whole and complete at our core and that this is our natural state. I support and facilitate individuals in having a felt experience of their wholeness and to learn to connect with and live more and more from this Infinite Source, from within. This is the Source of your true power, peace, love, potentiality, and creativity. I do this with a depth of understanding and compassion as I support you in identifying everything that you are not. All of your smaller human/ shadow parts, with their associated misperceptions and erroneous core beliefs, block you from your full potential and joy. When they are held in deep acceptance and understanding, you are able to integrate them into a Unified Whole. Together we explore and uncover what has been stopping you from feeling deeply connected and loved within, which dramatically translates into all of your relationships; your experience of life and everything you do.
I am deeply passionate about helping those I work with access the freedom and love that they deserve and crave. I predominantly work with adults, addressing a wide array of issues and concerns from anxiety and depression, challenges within relationships, chemical dependencies, obsessive-compulsive behavior, as well as any other kind of addictive or debilitating behavior. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your awakening process in coming home to your most Natural Self. LMFT # 40867
