Getting to know Lourdes Lazo

I work with millennials and young adults. In a safe space, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem, culture, and family/relationships. I use an integrative and holistic approach, helping clients identify strengths, unlock insight, and create awareness that allows them to reach their full potential while feeling aligned and emotionally whole. During my early undergraduate years, I realized I had a strong passion for human development, behavior, and psychology. I knew I wanted to be in a helping profession, and pursuing a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling at the City University of New York, City College, provided me with the knowledge and tools I needed to help others. My 11 years of experience, along with having been in therapy myself, helped me understand the process from the client's perspective. I can relate to my clients because I have also had to do the “inner work.” The “inner work” means digging deep into our inner wounds-who or what caused them, how we have coped, whether the patterns we have created are healthy or unhealthy, if these patterns are holding us back, and what we can do now to establish healthier patterns in our behavior and relationships. It also involves learning how to set boundaries and overcome roadblocks that prevent us from becoming the best version of ourselves.

What should a new client know about working with you?

“Please note: I no longer offer free consultation calls through Zocdoc. Bookings are for full therapy sessions only. The openings available on the calendar are the only availability I have, I no longer have evenings open and I do not work weekends.” Reaching out and asking for help can feel daunting but here’s what you can expect. I believe in the importance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. Research has shown that the primary predictor of success in therapy is the alliance between the therapist and client. It's important that you find a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable sharing your private thoughts and feelings. I have a welcoming and empathic approach that makes getting started easier. In the course of therapy, there will be a lot of self-exploration; thoughts, feelings, and experiences from your past and present will come to light. These help me understand the nature and origins of the problems you are experiencing. I will guide and support you through this process. Together, we'll expand your awareness and identify strategies for change and transformation. Confidentiality in therapy: Your information is kept in the strictest of confidence. Your information will not be disclosed to anyone unless I have your written permission or request. There are exceptions to this, and although exceptions are very rare, please understand that I take your right to confidentiality very seriously. If you have any question regarding confidentiality we can openly discuss it during sessions.

Lourdes is always so flexible with me. She does her very best to connect with you while still focusing on areas of improvement. Highly recommend :)
I never received the video link for my appointment and received no answer when I called and left messages! I still have not heard from this office!

Something I’ve never experienced with a therapist before the intake session, is having a consult. That made all the difference in getting to know if she would be someone I would want to talk to. She asks the right questions and explains why certain changes would be beneficial in an extremely impactful way. She knows how to do this to someone in a fragile state and offer hope. Speaking with her im the consultation and intake session has already altered my outlook.
