As a dedicated School Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a wealth of experience in mental health to my private practice. With a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University and a Sixth Year Certificate in School Psychology from Fairfield University, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective support to those in need.

My clinical background encompasses a diverse range of settings including domestic violence shelters, work with at-risk youth, and experience in a correctional facility. This extensive exposure has equipped me with a deep understanding on the complexities of mental health challenges.

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
