Getting to know Lara Mcdavit

As a therapist, I have a passion for guiding you to discover their strengths to overcome many of life's obstacles and develop effective coping skills. I have 10 years of clinical experience working in diverse settings (i.e. psychiatric emergency room, forensic social work, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings). My approach to therapy is "meeting my client where they are at." This means building rapport and trust where you can explore and process your experiences and emotions in a safe space.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Through establishing a trustworthy, collaborative relationship, you will develop skills that enhance their different areas of their lives: self-esteem, resilience, communication with others, and self-awareness. You will also learn coping skills (such as mindfulness and breath-work) and self-care techniques to manage negative emotions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You can expect to feel seen and heard, safe to be vulnerable, and received with kindness, empathy, humor, curiosity, open-mindedness, warmth, and honesty.
