Los Gatos Therapist
Brainspotting and Animal-Assisted Therapy for Trauma Healing and Emotional Wellbeing
Hi, I’m Lorren Siu, a licensed therapist based in Los Gatos, California.
Together with my dog, Emi, I provide Animal-Assisted Therapy and Brainspotting to help teens and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, and life’s overwhelming challenges.
With a certification in Brainspotting and a passion for helping Highly Sensitive People (HSP), I use a unique blend of somatic-based therapy, mindfulness, and talk therapy to help my clients find healing and resilience. I also offer Christian counseling for those seeking a faith-based approach to mental health.
Whether you're working through PTSD, complex trauma, or simply looking to better understand yourself, Emi and I are here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore and heal. I love providing gentle, caring guidance as my clients work through areas in life that have been causing them pain. It is always such an honor to witness the incredible ways that clients grow and heal during their journey!
When I’m not in session, you can find me exploring the outdoors or cooking something new with my husband. I love spending time with my pets and taking part in various activities with my church family. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I’d love to connect and support you.
What Is Brainspotting
and How Can It Help?
Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic tool designed to access, process, and release emotional trauma stored deep within the brain and body. By focusing on specific eye positions, Brainspotting helps you connect to emotions and memories that are often difficult to reach with traditional talk therapy alone.
This therapy is particularly effective for people dealing with trauma, PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), anxiety, and chronic stress. Brainspotting allows the brain to heal itself in a safe, controlled way, helping individuals find relief from emotional pain and psychological distress. Whether you’re looking to heal from past trauma or manage overwhelming emotions, Brainspotting offers a path to profound emotional healing.
Supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)
with Brainspotting and Christian Therapy
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) often experience the world more intensely, leading to overstimulation, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Brainspotting is an ideal tool for HSPs because it allows you to access and release deep emotions without being overwhelmed by them. By gently guiding you to process difficult feelings, Brainspotting can help you manage the heightened sensitivity that often leads to anxiety or emotional distress.
When combined with Christian therapy, this approach not only supports your emotional well-being but also nurtures your spiritual needs. As an HSP, you may find that connecting with your faith through therapy provides a calming, grounding force as you navigate the complexities of sensitivity and emotion. Together, we will create a balanced path toward peace and resilience
