Getting to know Wendy Lara
Hello, I'm Wendy, a bilingual licensed mental health counselor with over 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist. My journey in the clinical field has equipped me to address a wide range of mental health needs, and I have a particular focus on trauma and addiction disorders. However, my training allows me to support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD in both children and adults, weight management assessments for clients undergoing bariatric surgery, life adjustments, transitions, family and couples issues, and more.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to uncover the strengths within you and navigate the challenges you face. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, aiming to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, and currently, I see kids, teens, and adults. Whether it's individual counseling or family therapy, I tailor my methods to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my goal is to help you find balance and well-being in your life. I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, and I'm here to support you through this journey. We can explore various therapeutic techniques and strategies that resonate with you, ensuring that our sessions are both effective and meaningful.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about fostering a multicultural and diverse perspective in my practice. This allows me to connect with clients from various backgrounds and understand their unique experiences. My commitment to providing perinatal support, addressing sleep disorders, and managing stress and PTSD are some of the ways I strive to make a positive impact on my clients' lives.
If you're considering therapy and want to see if we might be a good fit, please feel free to call or email me. Let's have an initial conversation and explore how we can work together to achieve your mental health goals.
