Getting to know Larisa Wade

Whatever you’re struggling with- whether it’s difficult memories or emotions, numbness, stress, shame, or anxiety- I want you to know that you can get to the other side of it. I'm here to lend a listening ear and to guide you when the path is unclear. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered. My goal is to deliver effective therapy in a way that’s relational and attuned to your needs. I use treatment modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and art therapy. My focus I'm especially passionate about helping people recover from acute and complex trauma, depression, shame, anxiety, disordered eating, and body image concerns. I enjoy supporting fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community. My communication style I am open and transparent about my thoughts. I want therapy to feel collaborative and believe that a genuine relationship is important, regardless of the treatment modality. I have been described as warm, caring, and thoughtful. I value cultural humility and have a deep respect for my clients. My journey to mental healthcare I was originally drawn to therapy because of my lived experience with mental health recovery. My desire to understand my own experience developed into a lifelong interest in helping others. I believe that my lived experience helps me maintain a compassionate and non-pathologizing stance. My goals for you Some therapy goals are best met through active listening; others require problem-solving and skill development; many require specialized treatment approaches such as EMDR or ERP. Once I understand what your goals are, I’ll identify how I can most effectively support your growth. My first session with you My goal for our first session is to understand who you are, where you’re going, and how I can be of assistance on your journey.
