Getting to know Geanella Lara

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my master’s from Southern Connecticut State University and have been in the helping field for over 10 years. My passion is helping adults reach their full potential and live a more fulfilling life. I have worked with people from all walks of life. I currently work in the substance abuse field, helping adults work toward recovery goals at an outpatient unit after many years of home-based human service work. Over the years in this field, I have learned that the work becomes more fulfilling as you allow yourself to experience different areas. I take pride in the work I do every day, as I’m able to help people reach their goals, and I hope to continue doing this using this online platform.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
