Bio

Lucy Strand is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Life Coach with over 10 years of experience helping high-achieving, self-aware women shift the patterns that insight alone hasn’t been able to change.

She specializes in EMDR therapy for women who have already done a lot of self-reflection and may even understand why they feel or do what they do, yet still find themselves stuck in the same patterns — such as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, overthinking, perfectionism, anxiety, and never quite feeling “good enough.”

Her approach blends talk therapy with EMDR to go beyond insight and address the deeper beliefs, emotions, and experiences keeping these patterns in place. Lucy is warm, active, and supportive in her work — and will also gently challenge you when growth requires it.

“You don’t need more insight. You’re ready for something to actually shift.”

Lucy came to EMDR through her own personal work and experienced firsthand the difference between understanding a pattern and actually feeling differently. She now helps women create that same deeper level of change so they can feel more grounded, confident, and free in their lives and relationships.

She works with women across California via telehealth, Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM.
