Corryn Lara

Hi, I'm Corryn! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and difficult life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, struggling with relationships, working through a difficult experience, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you find greater balance, confidence, and peace of mind.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent 23 years in education, where I developed a deep appreciation for the different challenges people face and their ability to grow and adapt. I bring that perspective into therapy with a warm, down-to-earth, and supportive approach. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore what's been holding you back, and develop practical ways to create meaningful change in your life.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you can be yourself, explore your experiences openly, and work toward goals that matter to you. I'll take the time to understand your challenges and help you recognize patterns that may be contributing to stress, difficult emotions, or feeling stuck.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and creative approaches when appropriate. Depending on your needs, our work may focus on managing anxiety or depression, processing difficult experiences, improving relationships, or developing healthier coping skills. My goal is to combine meaningful insight with practical strategies that help you feel more confident and capable in everyday life.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and better understand what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what you've been experiencing, what's most important to you right now, and what you'd like to gain from our work together. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin.

You can expect me to be warm, genuine, and supportive, with a little humor when it feels appropriate. I'll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and work alongside you to identify goals that feel realistic and meaningful. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, encouraged, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and clarity.
