Lara Adams

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I have 25+ years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families providing individual, group, and parenting consultation. I work with clients facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, emotional and behavioral regulation difficulties, mood disorders, and life changes and stressors.

We all strive to feel happy and contented, to feel competent and successful, and to feel connected to others. At times, you may find yourself facing challenges for which you need support to understand, to address, and to grow.

My approach is a blending of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques, Mindfulness practices, and Solution Focused and Strength Based Therapies that is grounded in securing a strong, supportive relationship. I seek to bring warmth, compassion, and humor to the therapy experience.

Together we will identify and address goals to promote self-awareness, insight, growth, and skills. Input and feedback are always welcomed and encouraged throughout the therapy process.

I look forward to talking with you about your needs.
