EXPERT TRAUMA & ATTACHMENT THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA
Blending brain-body science, attachment theory, and intuitive attunement
Through Brainspotting, mindfulness and deep attached awareness, I can help you move beyond insight and into embodied change.
You may understand your patterns.
You may articulate your trauma history clearly.
You may even be the one others turn to for stability.
And yet your nervous system still carries something unresolved.
My work focuses on the deeper layers — where trauma lives in the body, attachment wounds shape relational patterns, and healing requires more than intellectual understanding.
Together, we work at the level where lasting change happens.
Hi, I’m Dr. Ly Franshaua Pipkins — licensed clinical psychologist and mind–body specialist.
My approach integrates:
Brainspotting
Attachment-informed therapy
Somatic and nervous system regulation
Cognitive and behavioral science
Depth-oriented relational work
I bring rigorous clinical training and a deeply attuned, embodied presence to our work.
I believe healing happens when evidence-based technique meets precise relational attunement.
Trauma resolution is rarely instant. In complex cases, healing unfolds gradually — as the nervous system learns regulation, safety, and embodied presence.
You don’t need to retell every detail of your trauma to heal.
We work with the nervous system directly — safely and collaboratively — so that trauma can resolve without re-traumatization.
I provide therapy for adults throughout California via telehealth.
This work may be right for you if you’re navigating:
Attachment wounds
PTSD or Complex Trauma
Relationship instability or repeated patterns
Anxiety rooted in early experiences
Burnout from chronic hyper-responsibility
Emotional numbing or over-functioning
Childhood emotional neglect
Grief or unresolved loss
Identity-based stress or relational trauma
You may have tried therapy before…
Maybe you’ve read the books, journaled extensively, and can explain your attachment style with precision.
Or perhaps you’ve built a successful life through discipline and resilience — yet relationships still feel activating, intimacy feels complicated, or your body stays on guard.
You’re not here for symptom management.
You’re here because you’re ready to feel different — not just think differently.
This is not surface work.
This is regulated, intentional, trauma-informed depth work.
Why Brainspotting?
Brainspotting allows us to access and process trauma at the subcortical level — where trauma is stored — without requiring exhaustive verbal recounting.
It is precise, contained, and deeply effective.
For clients who are thoughtful and insight-oriented, Brainspotting often creates the shift that traditional talk therapy alone cannot.
