Getting to know Laura Sorensen

Hi there! My name is Laurie Sorenson, and I am a licensed couple and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with complex trauma, PTSD, and attachment issues. I am a trauma-informed, strengths-based clinician. My approach integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic intervention, and internal family systems (IFS) to help build regulation skills and move through negative experiences. I work with children, adolescents, and adult clients. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, attachment issues, and low self-esteem. In particular, I work with clients who struggle with attachment and relational trauma, especially those who have experienced parentification/adultification, emotional abuse, and neglect, as well as with high-conflict couples and adoptees. I work collaboratively with clients to create a safe, non-judgmental space of unconditional support and regard. Our work will feel conversational; together, we will create new meaning and understanding of issues through curious exploration. You will learn new tools that are effective for you to utilize and integrate into daily life. I have an insatiable sense of curiosity about people’s stories and experiences. I love to connect with others and learn the small (but mighty) things that make them unique and drive their passion for life. Using a collaborative, strengths-based approach, I help clients formulate treatment goals. You are the expert of your life, and I will support you in journeying a path that is realistic and achievable.
