Lucy McLellan(She/Her/Hers)

Lucy is a licensed counselor and trauma therapist. She works with couples and individuals eager to create and sustain healthy relationships.

Sessions are grounded in attachment theory, an evidence-based theory of love. Lucy guides clients towards an understanding of how early life relationships continue to shape our patterns of connection for years to come. The goal is to understand and dismantle anxious and avoidant strategies we developed in childhood but continue yo use to cope with our unmet needs and relationship misattunement.

Lucy is a certified provider of Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) the Safe & Sound Protocol (Polyvagal Theory), and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). She is a member of the Embodied Recovery Institute, an eating disorder recovery model that embraces the role that the body plays in treatment.

Lucy weaves together her extensive training and clinical experience into a practice that embraces the broad intersection of her clients’ experiences, including gender violence, maternal mental health, intentional parenting, body justice, sex positivity, and trauma recovery and psychoeducation.

Lucy’s style in sessions is warm and collaborative. She deeply values the role of humor in creating a sense of trust, believing that recovery in relationships often begins in the therapy space. Lucy is deeply creative and often employs expressive techniques as a means by which to optimize transformation and healing.
