Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Psychologist

Virtual • New Haven, CT


I am a dedicated mental health clinician committed to helping patients better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth when given the right support and tools.

I have a background in working with individuals across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting patients with anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship challenges. I also work with patients who struggle with self-worth, perfectionism, and patterns of self-criticism, helping them build a more compassionate and balanced relationship with themselves.

I earned my degree in Clinical Psychology at University of Hartford, and I continue to engage in ongoing education to stay current with best practices in mental health care. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that supports patients in building resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

Elizabeth Lara

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.
