Great to meet you!

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone! My name is Lorena Benavides Lazo, I have 6+ years working in this field-and I am here to support you in exploring concerns such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, relationship difficulties, and stress with compassion and care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and person-centered principles, always adapting the process to your unique needs and goals. Together, we can incorporate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches.

What you can expect from me

I value honest, open communication and strive to create a space where you feel comfortable and supported. I’ll always be direct about what I’m seeing, while approaching every conversation with care and respect.
