Elizabeth Lara

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Raleigh

Finding the right therapist in Raleigh starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Knowing your goals — even broadly — can help you narrow your search to providers with relevant experience.

From there, look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern. Raleigh has a large community of licensed therapists (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs) and psychiatrists, many of whom offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach, which makes it easier to decide if they're a good match before you book.

Therapy in Raleigh can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
