Lynaia Freund

Lynaia Freund is a California-based psychotherapist with 21 years of professional experience helping people move past patterns that keep them stuck. She is a certified EMDR practitioner and holds advanced training in an EMDR technique known as “EMDR/Flash,” which she uses to help desensitize painful memories, thoughts, or feelings so clients can make meaningful change.

Over the course of her career she has supported many people in recovering from trauma and childhood abuse, coping with grief and loss, and managing stress, panic, and anxiety. She also works with issues of motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence, helping clients unfreeze from limiting patterns so they can move forward with their lives.

Lynaia brings substantial experience in addiction recovery, with years of work both on a medical rehab unit and in private practice. She also served 14 years as a Clinical Hospital Chaplain at a Major Trauma Center in Southern California and has extensive experience integrating spirituality with psychotherapy.

Her practice emphasizes an open, safe, and compassionate environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Lynaia recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and she aims to support clients through that first step and beyond.

She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, qualified to provide professional psychotherapy services.
