About Lynn Cawley

Lynn Cawley is a California-licensed therapist with three decades of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She holds an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and a Ph.D. in Psychology, a doctoral degree focused on psychological research and clinical practice. Early in her career she completed doctoral research in Bosnia using EMDR, working with people diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, and that experience informs her trauma work today.

Lynn’s practice addresses a wide range of issues including trauma, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems, and the challenges couples face during life transitions such as the arrival of a new child or a parent moving into the home. She also offers focused support for abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety or phobia.

She approaches each person and couple with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each client’s particular needs. Lynn emphasizes practical, compassionate support while helping clients take the first courageous step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. This range of access and choice can make it simpler to find a therapeutic approach and schedule that work well for an individual’s life.
