Lauren Cumberbatch, LMFT, EMDR Certified

About

Imagine a life free from the burdens of the past, filled with happiness and purpose. As an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and consultant, I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy designed to help you achieve healing at a pace that feels right for you. EMDR and Ketamine Assisted EMDR can be a powerful tool for overcoming trauma, reducing anxiety and depression, and challenging the negative self-beliefs that may be holding you back. For individuals and couples seeking stronger connections, I integrate the insights of the Gottman Method and attachment theory to foster deeper understanding and healthier relationships. My therapy is grounded in compassion, warmth, and a deep understanding of trauma. I am dedicated to supporting you as you navigate your path toward healing and growth. With deep roots in Southern California and over four decades in Santa Barbara, I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience. My academic background includes a BA from UCSB and an MA in Counseling Psychology with a Jungian/Depth focus from Pacifica Graduate Institute. My passion for family, singing, and poetry enriches my life and often informs my creative approach to therapy.
