Lara Cladny

Whoever you are, I fiercely believe that your story is important; your suffering has the potential to bring your life depth and beauty. But damn does life hurt sometimes, and many of us feel alone in our personal hero's journeys. We need therapeutic comrades and safe spaces to nourish our need to belong. It is my deep honor to accompany you into your depths, help you discover your own personal treasures, and find your way back to the light with renewed confidence, purpose, and meaning.

My approach is trauma- and systems-informed, culturally-sensitive and person-centered. This is a safe space for fully authentic, unmasked you. Carl Jung says "We don't get wounded alone, and we don't heal alone." Therapy here is relationship-oriented and personalized to support one's culture, history, and goals. However, I frequently utilize depth psychology, parts work, somatic psychotherapy, polyvagal and attachment theories, DBT, ACT, & existential and experiential psychotherapies.

​We will spend the few sessions getting to know each other and creating therapeutic goals. Sessions going forward will look different depending on your goals and personal life circumstances. We might spend one session dialoguing with your inner child, another session exploring specific interventions for a pattern you want to change, another in a somatic exploration of the body to support your nervous system, and yet another using role-play and symbolism to unpack a particularly memorable dream.
