Therapy That Works

______________________________________________________________________________NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS WITH EVENING AND SATURDAY AVAILABILITY ______________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I’m Lara. I hold an Associate Professional Counselor license and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lebanon Valley College. You may be here because you're feeling nervous and on edge, or down and disconnected from relationships or the things you used to enjoy. Maybe you find yourself navigating a tough transition, feeling pressure to keep it all together, or you're just not feeling like yourself lately. Well, you're not alone and you don't have to figure this out by yourself--I'm here to help and support you. I provide effective mental health treatment for adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or down. In our sessions, we create a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and what matters most. We identify the unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that are holding you back. We work toward helping you become more present and flexible, so you can move forward with intention. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). These modalities help develop effective coping strategies, increase emotional and cognitive awareness, and build psychological flexibility to improve overall well-being. I treat issues such as: • Anxiety & Stress • Depression • Trauma • Identity & Self-esteem • Life Transitions (school, career, relationships) • Family and Interpersonal Dynamics • Non-Suicidal Self-Injury • Adolescent Mental Health • Goal Setting & Personal Growth If you’re ready to take steps toward real and meaningful change, reach out for a free consultation and see if we’re a good fit. _____________________________________________________ To schedule a free 15-minute consultation, click the "Contact" email icon at the top of the page or the blue "Request Appointment" button on the top right to send me a message.

Some insurances provides out-of-network benefits. This means you submit a request to your insurance provider for all or partial reimbursement. In this case, you will pay the session fee at the time of service, and I will provide you with a receipt that you submit to your provider. Please check with your insurance provider first to determine of out-of-network benefits are available to you.
