“Lara has a gift of therapeutic know-how. She has a kind of gentle but laser focused ability to get to the heart of matters quickly so that relief can be felt during the first visit. She presents herself as a "human" just like the rest of us and offers a warm and supportive but direct and realistic approach to her care. She is incredibly bright with a slew of resources at the ready to share. Lara doesn't push too much nor does she ever pry when not invited, but she is quite capable of asking questions to wiggle out the tougher, deeper issues. She's a gem and a keeper, and I'm happy to recommend her.”

“I was immediately drawn into Lara's safe space where I could tell my story without judgment. She is warm but firm, serious but silly, and exceptionally bright. She knows her stuff so to speak, and has many, many useful tips and tricks up her sleeve to help me through my therapy.
Lara is simply a gem. I am lucky to have found her.”

Getting to know Lara Curry
Hi there, I'm Lara!
People have always talked to me, so becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist was a natural path; I can work with individuals and families facing issues that affect their lives and help lighten the burden of privately held troubles at the same time. As a Native Californian, I appreciate the openness and inclusive culture that is natural here. We can't always be relaxed at the beach, but we can find that more comfortable space inside. Most problems diminish just by talking about them. Finding actual solutions beyond venting helps with the more challenging difficulties, and solution orientation is critical for forming a strong basis for personal and family well-being. Seeing issues from a Family Systems perspective, problems with anger, addictions, depression, anxiety, disabilities, and self-esteem issues all can be "lightened" and diminished in intensity. Most problems can be resolved if viewed from the right perspective, and shifting perspectives to understand and explain is a hallmark of my work.
I earned my Master?s in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University, which equipped me with the skills to support clients effectively.
My approach
I assume anyone seeking psychotherapy genuinely desires to help sort out the difficulties in their lives. I try to work as a co-investigator to understand the issues and help explain how they evolved and how to resolve them in an informal, caring partnership with my clients. Most issues are affected by difficult experiences, and my skills address releasing trauma-caused issues and improving interpersonal communication and social competencies. Avoiding our problems affects the rest of our lives, limiting us. In my work, I do my best to help my clients push through their limits and reduce their struggling, gaining comfort with previously troubling issues.
My focus
Helping clients resolve the issues they identify as troublesome and seeing them to that moment of hope and change is a core value in my work.
