ABOUT US - Lori Granger, LMFT - Mill Valley, CA

 

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC # 46228) and  began a meditation practice during intercontinental trips as an international broadcast consultant.  

My broadcast consulting career was interrupted by Sept. 11, 2001 and the obstacles to travel that ensued.
Mindfulness meditation provided the perfect vehicle for authentic self-discovery and purpose which led to the unlikely career transition from broadcasting to Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy.



I have trained with these teachers and authors:

• Jon Kabat-Zinn, the father of mainstream mindfulness and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and author of numerous books including Wherever You Go, There You Are

• Jack Kornfield, teacher and author of seminal books integrating Eastern and Western psychotherapy including his newest, The Wise Heart: The Art and Science of Buddhist Psychology

• John Welwood, author of numerous books on Eastern and Western psychotherapy including Toward a Psychology of Awakening.

• Tara Brach, teacher and author of Radical Acceptance

• Attended the UCLA Mindfulness and Psychotherapy Conference, June 07 and was fortunate enough to walk in meditation behind Vietnamese Zen author and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh.

In 2007, I established The Center for Mindfulness of Central California in a deeply personal and passionate pursuit --  the culmination of years of study and practice.  In its first seven years, there have been collaborations or partnered with retreat centers, health care corporations, yoga studios, Buddhist temples, and community members interested in bringing mindfulness into the classrooms.  

In 2014, my practice expanded to Marin County with the opening of my second office in Mill Valley, California. I offer therapy for individuals and couples, with weekend hours available to fit your busy schedule.

Amazement surrounds us, but were so frequently dazed by over-loaded, multi-tasked days that we become unaware of it. Countless riches in the form of simple perfection are lost every moment.  I spent the first half of my life missing-in-action. Rushing to get on to "whats next."  For this next half, Im settling and opening to amazement. Acknowledging the inherent beauty of experience as it unfolds.

Mindfulness has given me back the moments of my life. My belief, which research is proving, is that others would also benefit from the enrichment mindfulness offers. I invite you to join me on the path to mindful living at Mindful Marin.
