Welcome to

Embodied Wellness & Recovery

Our Mission

Founded on the principles of compassion, safety, and respect for our clients, Embodied Wellness & Recovery provides integrative healing for individuals, couples, and families in a nurturing, client-centered environment. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach to mental health,  we integrate traditional psychotherapy with somatic techniques and other wellness services to address trauma, emotional distress, destructive behaviors, and relationship challenges. We offer comprehensive, specialized care with psychotherapists, coaches, mentors, and somatic practitioners, attuning to your specific needs; we treat each person as an individual – not simply a diagnosis.

With offices in both Los Angeles and Nashville, we offer in-person and virtual services.

We believe in a personalized treatment approach that combines expertise from the fields of psychology, somatic modalities, medicine, and neuroscience. We aim to facilitate healing through coherence and integration to help you regulate your nervous system, reconnect with yourself and others, and thrive. At Embodied Wellness and Recovery, your resilience and serenity are our mission.

Lauren Dummit,

LMFT, CST, CSAT-S, and Ph.D. Candidate

With expertise as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist and Clinical Supervisor, and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and Supervisor (CSAT-S,) Lauren Dummit guides her clients through various issues, including relationship dynamics,  Complex-PTSD (C-PTSD), sexual health, mood disorders, personality disorders, stress management, and substance/process disorders.  Her aim is to help clients realize their strengths and abilities in addition to their innate capacity to heal and move with integrity through loss, deep wounds, and life transitions. As a somatic and attached-focused therapist, Lauren offers her clients deep empathy, attunement, and compassion on their journey to self-awareness and lasting transformation.

  • With a wealth of wide-ranging experience and a commitment to your well-being, the fundamental basis of Lauren’s work is about helping clients find a deep connection to their authentic self and move out of maladaptive coping strategies to experience more free and alive in their bodies. Lauren specializes in attached-based and somatic approaches to relationship dynamics and sexual health. Her empathetic and evidence-based practices have helped countless individuals and couples rekindle intimacy with themselves and in relationships with others, heal from trauma and addiction, reconnect with their life-force energy, and rediscover joy in their lives.

    Lauren firmly believes that each person must be seen as human, as an individual – not just as a diagnosis. She employs an integrative treatment approach, one that combines expertise from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and is built on a foundation of safety, compassion, and respect.

    Resilience can be defined as an ability to flexibly adapt to challenging, adverse, or traumatic life events. This ability to “bounce back” from traumatic events is deeply connected to having the opportunity to work through difficult life experiences. Resilience is not a trait that you either have or do not have; it is a set of strategies that can be learned and practiced. Exposure to disturbing or traumatic life events is inevitable. However, following trauma exposure, most people experience uncomfortable emotions and sensations such as grief, fear, anxiety, panic, anger, or depression. This is normal AND it is part of your innate resilience process.

    Lauren's unique blend of therapeutic expertise fosters an environment of trust and openness. Lauren wholeheartedly believes that a felt sense of safety is the foundation for the risk-taking necessary to facilitate healing and growth. Whether you're navigating intimacy challenges, working through addiction, or seeking to enhance your relationship, Lauren Dummit is your compassionate guide in building resilience and achieving profound change.

    Take the first step toward a brighter, more fulfilling future, one in which you are thriving instead of just surviving, living in alignment with your authentic self and values, and feeling integrated and embodied. We invite you to begin the journey to holistic healing and well-being today.

There is always room for more depth, joy, healing, love, and purpose.
