Depth-oriented therapy that addresses the root of emotional and relational patterns.
At Lumi, we understand that emotional suffering, relationship challenges, and patterns of disconnection develop over time—often as adaptations to earlier experiences. Our work focuses on helping clients understand these patterns, develop greater emotional regulation, and create new experiences of safety and connection.
We integrate psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, nervous system and movement-based healing, and experiential methods. This allows us to support both immediate symptom relief and deeper, lasting transformation.
Therapy at Lumi is not only about coping. It is about helping you understand yourself more fully, develop stability and resilience, and experience greater freedom and connection in your life.
Lauren Walther is trained in Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), an evidence-based approach particularly effective for families, couples, and individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, personality challenges, and complex relational patterns.
Our Philosophy
Healing happens through deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. Therapy provides a space to explore patterns, regulate the nervous system, and develop new ways of coping and relating.
Our Modalities
Psychodynamic Therapy
Understanding the deeper patterns shaping your emotional life.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Healing through safety, connection, and relationship.
Nervous System & Movement
Regulating the nervous system through movement and connection.
Psychodrama & Experiential
Experiencing change, not just talking about it.
Harm Reduction & Substance Use
Compassionate, collaborative treatment for substance use.
Skills & Emotional Regulation
Skills-based work at Lumi focuses on helping clients develop concrete tools to manage distress, regulate emotions, and navigate daily challenges more effectively.
While deeper therapeutic work addresses the roots of emotional and relational patterns, skills-based work provides immediate support — helping clients stabilize, cope, and function more effectively in the present.
This work includes:
Managing anxiety, emotional intensity, and stress
Developing distress tolerance and coping strategies
Building emotional awareness and regulation
Strengthening daily routines and behavioral consistency
Improving communication and relational skills
Skills-based work is integrated throughout therapy at Lumi, supporting clients in applying insights from session to everyday life.
An Integrative Model
Therapy at Lumi integrates multiple levels of healing.
We support clients in:
Developing skills to cope with immediate distress
Increasing nervous system regulation and stability
Understanding the emotional and relational origins of their patterns
Experiencing new ways of relating to themselves and others
This integrative approach allows therapy to address both present symptoms and the deeper patterns that sustain them.
Over time, clients often experience:
Greater emotional stability
Improved relationships
Increased self-understanding
Greater sense of freedom and aliveness
Experienced clinicians dedicated to depth and transformation.
