I am not taking new clients right now ______________________________________________________ Hi, I’m Lara—a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lebanon Valley College, which I earned in Aug. 2023. I provide counseling under the supervision of a qualified licensed professional. You may be here because you're feeling exhausted and nervous, or maybe you've been down and disconnected from relationships or the things you used to enjoy. You might find yourself navigating a tough transition, or feeling pressure to keep it all together. Maybe you're just not feeling like yourself lately. You don't have to figure this out by yourself. I’m here to listen, connect, and support you along the way. I enjoy helping teens and adults identify what’s holding them back and find their path toward meaningful change. In our sessions, we create space to breathe, slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and what matters most. I help you identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and explore new approaches that can help you move toward your treatment goals. 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, retirement) •Teen & Young Adult Mental Health • Family and Interpersonal Dynamics • OCD • Non-Suicidal Self-Injury • Goal Setting & Personal Growth If you’re ready for real connection and meaningful change, reach out for a free consultation to 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 suberbill that you submit to your provider.
