Laurel van der Toorn, LMFT

Please see Laurel’s profile here.

As the founder of Laurel Therapy Collective, I specialize in EMDR therapy and trauma therapy for high-achievers, professionals, and creatives. Many of my clients are lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs searching for a space to process stress, heal old wounds, and move forward with vitality. I offer EMDR therapy in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Santa Cruz, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of teens and adults.

I also provide therapy for burnout, helping clients address chronic stress, perfectionism, and exhaustion. My work is deeply holistic, blending body-based practices with research-backed trauma treatment.

Whether you’re looking for a trauma therapist, an anxiety therapist in San Francisco or Los Angeles, or support through burnout and life transitions, my approach centers on compassion, collaboration, and lasting change.
