Getting to know Lara Zaghikian

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and is a powerful act of self-care. Whether you're navigating a life change, feeling overwhelmed and stuck, or simply seeking a safe space to grow, I’m here to support you on your transformative journey and help you move forward with purpose. I offer a compassionate, interactive space where your voice is heard, your experiences are honored, your goals guide the process, and your growth is the focus. I listen with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, holding space for your healing without judgment. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you—toward greater insight, resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful change. I work with teens, adults, and older adults, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate grief and loss, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, postpartum depression, stress, and crisis situations. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I use an integrative approach, combining aspects of various schools of thought, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. This flexibility allows us to work in a way that resonates with you and supports your unique goals, pace, and journey. Whenever you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk beside you on your path to healing, as you step into renewed clarity, self-trust, and strength.
