Psychologist, PhD Licensed Clinical Psychologist, LCP Certified Hypnotherapist, CHTDr. Loraine Van Tuyl is a licensed clinical psychologist, Depth Hypnosis practitioner, and shamanic eco psychologist. She offers teletherapy and spiritual healing through her virtual office in Pleasanton, CA. Dr. Van Tuyl is passionate about teaching clients how to align mind-heart-body-soul and connect more fully and authentically with their true nature, their life purpose, and with others. Many of her clients identify as spiritual empaths and are high achievers. They take on the stress and pain of those around them, which leaves them exhausted and anxious. It’s often hard for them to regulate and trust their own emotions. They feel triggered or overwhelmed at inopportune times, which leads to work struggles, relationship conflicts, impostor issues, risk avoidance, and ongoing frustration.
Dr. Van Tuyl practices a unique therapy style that seamlessly integrates modern psychological expertise, spiritual practices, and mindfulness with nature-centered wisdom. Dr. Van Tuyl empowers her 1-1 clients with step-by-step guidance how to create a resourced and clear inner space where they can safely prioritize their own mental health over the needs of others. She shows clients how to recruit a dream-team of spirit guides to navigate through life’s challenges. Clients also learn mindfulness practices like deep breathing, unique grounding and visualization techniques, meditation, and emotional regulation skills. These powerful tools help clients to challenge harmful or self-sabotaging beliefs, resolve relationship conflicts, and heal trauma patterns at the root.
Dr. Van Tuyl created an elegant 10-week online course called HEAL LOVE LEAD with SOUL AUTHORITY, informed by three decades of experience working with professional empaths. Students in this course learn to create a soul sanctuary, set energetic boundaries, and develop resilience that expands with them for life. Dr. Van Tuyl uses her own experience as an empath in her work with clients, offering deep insight, fierce compassion, and momentum.

It's possible to link your HSA card to a PayPal account that can be used for both my 1-1 services and HEAL LOVE LEAD with SOUL AUTHORITY course. I offer this 10-week online course 2-x3 a year. It consists of live, solo, and group teachings (videos, guided orientations, shamanic journeying instructions, articles, and my Soul Authority book and workbook) and is a great compliment to 1-1 sessions or can be done by itself. Ask me about details, exact dates, and meeting times of future courses (determined by each cohort) if interested. Also, if our schedules don't synch for 1-1 meetings, shoot me a message and inquire about other times. I'm flexible and may be able to move other meetings around.
