About Lorine Bay

I’m Lorine Estelle Bay, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of California Dreamin’ Expressive Arts Therapy. I provide integrative psychotherapy in Santa Cruz County using a trauma-informed, decolonized approach to mental health. My work integrates lifestyle medicine as behavioral science, nervous-system regulation, and an understanding of how trauma somatizes in the body. Whether online or in person, I offer integrative psychotherapy in Santa Cruz County that supports whole-person healing.

Struggles Turned Into Strengths

High-pressure careers, social isolation, and unresolved trauma often live inside the nervous system as anxiety, chronic stress, or physical symptoms. Integrative psychotherapy in Santa Cruz County helps transform these experiences into sources of insight and resilience. Through peer support, social rehabilitation, and post-scarcity, decolonized social work principles, therapy becomes not just symptom relief, but a pathway back into connection, meaning, and community.
