Elizabeth Lara

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


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 Tennessee

Finding the right therapist in Tennessee starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, PTSD, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Tennessee-licensed therapists may hold credentials such as LPC-MHSP, LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist, and psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available for medication management.

With providers practicing in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, and across the state, you have options for both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and what a session with them looks like — so you can feel confident before your first appointment.

Therapy in Tennessee can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.
