Getting to know Lara Touckly
Hi there, I'm Lara!
My name is Lara (pronounced Lah-ra, like Lara Croft). I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I am a curious, authentic, genuine, and very human therapist. I love working with people who want to do the work. I am here to provide a safe space that fosters vulnerability and growth. Therapy is hard sometimes, and I'm here to make that pill a little easier to swallow. We all fall into times when we're stuck in unhelpful perspectives, lack sufficient self-love, or have run out of hope. I support you in getting unstuck, changing your perspective, increasing your self-love, and reminding you that there is hope. Just because we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't mean it's not there.
A therapeutic relationship is vital for success. So, in the spirit of authenticity, here are some other truths about me: If you're looking for a ?cookie-cutter therapist,? I'm not the one. If you want heavy homework or worksheets, I'm not the one. I'm very human. At times, I cuss-because sometimes life can just fucking suck. I'm also very open to feedback. If something is helpful, let me know. If it's not, definitely let me know! I have the mental health portion of my job down, but you are the expert in you.
My approach is integrative: I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches. I use various interventions depending on the client's needs. I have experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, are undergoing life transitions, face cultural challenges, and live with mood disorders.
I earned my Master's in Counseling from the University of California, San Diego, which has shaped my commitment to compassionate, client-centered care.
